Shimano DI2 / R785 shifter woes....

Howdy all.
Recently bought a set of R785 levers for my synapse. I'm aware of the rattle between the lever and the body (lack of a cable to provide tension) so I put a sliver of old inner tube to stop this (works fine on my other R785 levers), but they were still rattling. After investigation I traced the new rattle to one of the buttons on the right hand lever. I removed the electronic switch as per shimano manual and found that one of the buttons was missing a return spring!!!
I checked my other DI2 levers and both buttons have a return spring. Got in touch with the shop where I purchased the levers and they have sent me a replacement that arrived today - it too rattles and has a spring missing!!!
Looks like a defective batch maybe??
Has anyone else had this issue? Worth noting if you find a rattle issue that isn't resolved by the usual fix!!
