G5X II: Is rattling from the lens cover normal?

Sounds about the same as yours. My Sony AX53 camcorder has the same kind of lens cover. Almost exactly. It had a similar rattle from it if you shook it.

After I dropped the Sony in the sand the lens opened and stayed that way. Apparently a grain of sand wedged in between those blades and I couldn't shake it loose. Bought a 55mm lens cover and it's been fine with that. Been using it that way for a year and a half. Moral of the story, don't drop it in the sand. lol
