It is annoying to have the loose barrel and rattling but if your lens performs well then you should just learn to live with it.  In 2018, I bought an EOS R with the 24-105 f/4 and my copy of the lens has that condition.  Over the next few months, I would play with other 24-105 lenses when I was in camera stores or Best Buys and I would say roughly 2/3 of the lenses I looked at had some level of play and rattle although some were worse than others.   It seems that Canon's design tolerances creates the potential for play and really poorly done for a L type lens.   I have since sold my R but I have kept the 24-105 and it continues to take great images.
