DJI FPV loose SMA connector
#1
One of the lower sma connectors is slipping. Taking off the faceplate I can see the back anchor bolt is loose and slips when trying to connect. It also adds a bit more wiggle when gently tugged on.

It’s a really tight fit and odd angle to do any work, besides the screens are right there.

Has anyone had this issue? Any fix, tool other then a complete tear down?

A loose SMA connector is a known issue and is more common if you use aftermarket antennas because the stock antennas have a shoulder on to keep the SMA connector from rotating when you screw them in. Aftermarket antennas don't have that so you need to take extra care when screwing in and unscrewing them. You need to be careful because if the SMA connector is spinning then it's easy to twist the connector right off, as many have discovered.

Are you able to just tighten the nut on the front while holding the body of the SMA connector still? If not then unfortunately I think you might need to do a complete teardown to get to the back of it. The video below shows you how...

I just noticed one of my bottom ones on my v2 was alittle loose also and I have the stock antennas. Do you know if it affects range any if it's a little loose even though antenna is screwed all the way?

No, a loose RP-SMA connector on the goggles isn't going to affect the range as long as you haven't actually managed to twist off the pigtail wire that is soldered to the back of it inside the goggles. You just need to be extra careful when screwing and unscrewing the antenna so as not to twist the actual RP-SMA socket when doing that. To properly fix the issue and tighten up that RP-SMA socket you will unfortunately have to tear down the goggles. The video linked to in post #2 of this thread shows you haw to do that.

The video is not online anymore. Any other link?

There are some other DJI FPV Goggle teardown videos linked to below which will provide you with the same walkthrough. The second one is in French but you don't necessarily need to understand the language to follow the teardown.
