I've found an easy fix without removing the bezel...

Being curious, I took a look at the edge where the bezel meets the case. On mine, there was a hairline gap that ran everywhere, but on the top, between these two parts. It is almost as if the top portion of my bezel was siting a bit too low, and possibly why my bezel was loose. I took a sticky-note (any strong, thin piece of paper should work, I just happened to have a sticky pad nearby) and ran it along the edge at the top to get under the bezel. It was a tough fit at first, and a few edges ripped causing me to fish them out with another note. After a few runs I was able to get more of the paper under the bezel and move it smoothly across the top. I continued doing this for about a minute, starting at one end, then next time starting at the other end. Low and behold, the problem had seriously lessened!

I still have the slightest of plays up there, but it is basically pretty solid and hardly noticeable. Honestly, I only notice the slight movement because I'm looking for it. This is a really low budget fix, but it worked. Anyone else with similar issues, you might want to give this a go. It may be putting enough strain on the pins to bend them back into place. I don't know if this will be as permanent as removing the bezel and re-fastening it, but... it is a very simple, easy, and harmless fix to try. I'm quite happy with the results.
