AMD 13 - two minor issues (alien.top)

I got my Batch 1 laptop a couple of weeks ago and I'm really happy with it! There are just two small problems bothering me at the moment, was wondering if anyone had encountered the same

1 - the trackpad has kind of a "false click" before the actual click, I disassembled it and from what I can tell it's because the glass sits a bit above the leaf-spring at the bottom so when you press down the glass first hits the spring and then they both click the switch if you press harder. Is it ok to just bend the leaves upwards a bit?

2 - My old laptop charger (dell 45w) worked for about a week and now when I plug it in, the laptop switches rapidly between showing that it is charging and showing that there is no charger connected. I have another (65w gan) charger that works fine, and the dell charger works fine for my other USB-C devices. Removing the expansion card and replacing it works for a few minutes before the charger disconnects again. Thoughts?

I have a similar issue with #1. It's like a half step click and then if you push down further you get the real mouse button press. If you get a resolution to it let us know. Honestly not sure if I would RMA just for this, but it is kind of annoying.

Isn't the AMD 13 a 65w charging speed laptop?

45W USB-C PD charger is probably too low. Suggest 65W or 100W chargers. Who is the say your Dell USB-C charger is compliant enough to the latest PD standards?
