Is this a normal amount of inner cv joint movement

Brand new CV joint installed

got under the car to look at it and the joint moves rotationally a ton (and clicks)
and
moves in and out quite a bit

is this normal?
is the ring actually snapped into place?

All is good. That’s how it is supposed to be.

Snap ring and the corresponding groove in the transmission has some play. Normal.

Lex2K explained about the ring groove. The other movement is related to the gears inside.
