Default Shifter excessive shake & rattle question

I think my shifter shakes/wobbles too much

I first noticed this about a month ago when driving in 3rd gear at high RPMs (~5-6k), and my shifter would be quickly shaking ~1" side to side pretty aggressively IMO. I see a similar shake in other gears, but most noticeable in 3rd/4th/2nd.

I also notice (while not as bad) when I drive on bumpy roads/over potholes, the shifter would also wobble as the car goes hits the bump, even at ~30MPH/50KPH, and in any gear

Here's a video I took a video of my shifter issue to see what I'm talking about.

Also my shifter would sometimes make a squeaking noise when going into 5th during the winter. It seems random, and hasn't happened now that its warm again. I'm not sure if these are related.

Researching the forums tells me a shaky/wobbly shifter is not uncommon on the Z. However, I think this seems extreme for me. Does this seem normal or something of concern? Car is a 2016 base Z with ~15000miles/24000kms.
