This is a Goture 3000 series reel (my first ever reel) I got just today. I was inspecting the product and found it wiggling and kinda lose(?) I just wanted to know if this was normal and if it isnt what could I do to fix this.

On cheaper spinning reels there will be some flex like that if the drag is totally loose. In fact it can happen even on a bit more expensive ones because the drag knob is also keeping the spool there. It’s not really ideal but if you tighten the drag to where it’ll be when you fish it should mostly go away.
