Look and make sure there's nothing stuck in the small groove around the part where it penetrates the controller. If not, I would suggest returning it if it bothers you (shouldn't really affect performance all that much, if at all). The antennas are attached through a two-part plastic inserted coupler and they can be loose or separated slightly. The antennas can be replaced/remounted but since it's a brand new Mavic and from Amazon, it's easier to return/replace it than mess with trying to correct the problem.
 
Yeh mate, it's a very common problem/defect. Always the left antenna.
According to my research there is not a lot you can do to remedy the problem apart from being extra careful when unfolding and folding. I'm surprised you can't buy an Antenna Guard for the controller.
