Diamond Pro-Am dropping parts

I bought a 9' ProAm from my local Diamond dealer. It was installed in September 2021. In January, I first noticed a part (pictured below) laying on the floor around the table perimeter. I figured it's from the table. It seems to happen sporadically and in different spots. So far I've discovered 4 in total. I texted the dealer, but have not received a reply. Just want to know if this is something to be concerned about. So, I thought I'd post it here.

Did you crawl under the table and have a look at the underside to see whats going on?
Yes. Around the outside, everything looked ok. Nothing seemed out of place, but then I don't know what it should look like. The greater area underneath the table is plywood which is the ball return area as well as a storage compartment for the legs during transport.
 
Looks like the small bolts that hold the pockets to the rails. There are four of them for each pocket.
You can see them at 6 minutes into this video.

Pocket mounting screws, not uncommon from the factory assemblers. Just hang on to them, pick up any more that fall out, set aside and wait until the table gets the cloth changed, to mount them back in place again.

Meanwhile, check your rail bolts, they're loose.

Thanks RKC! You were right about the rail bolts. I had to tighten more than half of them.
 
Curious is there a recommended torque specs for rail bolts?
Also if they are uneven torque from one bolt to another make them play weird?
