Noisy Rottefella bindings

My son has some fairly new Rottefella NNN bindings that were installed
where he purchased them. The heel plate makes a "squawking" sound
when he puts pressure on it (so, whenever he takes a step on the
skis). It looks like this is from the plate moving slightly up and
down due to a very thin gap between the binding and the ski. Is this
normal for this binding? Or does the binding (the heel plate) need to
be tightened? If it needs tightening, how is this done?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Try a little silicone spray on where it rubs. I think every binding
*type* I've ever used (and I've used most of them) tended to squeak in
certain conditions. The worst I had was on the old D ring Salomons,
but not on all of the skis I had them on. Go figure.
