[OM] Loose Pen F focusing screen

Maybe it's a bit off topic, because is not an OM -- but it's still an Oly,
though ;-)

The focusing screen of my Pen F is a bit loose: the side towards camera
front has near 1mm of play. If I press gently the screen's frame, it seems
to reach the right position, but it gets wrong when released.

If I focus on an "infinity" object thru the viewfinder, the focusing ring
is set at about 5 m/15 ft., and taking the picture wide-open gives a
defocused image. If I ignore the viewfinder and set the ring to infinity,
the pic is much sharper.

The camera seems fine in every other aspect, esp. shutter speeds.

Is that fixable? It's an easy fix?

Thanks in advance!
