[Elecraft] Loose buttons

[Dragan 4O4A]

Hi Don,

Thanks for prompt answer.

Please take a look at image here: http://www.desniklik.com/k3-4o4a.jpg

Is "A" a 2D connector you are referring in your message?
(sorry, I can't find proper English word for the "A")

There is some gap between PCB and "A", as tick as PCB is.
PCB is moving when I press button.

What do you think about gluing some non-conductive piece of material 
(another rubber) on the side of "A", to fill the gap?
