Inspect the relay,, perhaps the prongs on the relay are worn. You could swap with an identical relay. If the loose relay becomes loose again in it's new position, then get a new relay. If the swapped relay becomes loose in the AC position, then perhaps you can open up the fuse block and slightly crimp the female receptacles.

Maybe you can do it without opening it. Either way, be sure to disconnect the battery negative terminal first. If you do have to open it, wait long enough for the airbag capacitors to discharge, I want to say at least 20 minutes, someone will confirm or correct me.

Should be ok as it is a new relay but there is a chance it is just every so slightly different. Wonder if I could add a little bead of sauder to the relay tips and make it hold more firm.

Probably, the contacts on the BCM side are cooked.
