Deadbolt Lock Question

Hello Forum ... Thanks in advance for your responses!. When My trailer arrived at the dealer in 2021 they were not able to unlock the deadbolt and of course they made the repair. I am now having issues with locking. No matter how much reasonable force I use to close the door the deadbolt will not line up. For a while I was avle to push the door from the outside or pull from inside and it would line up and lock. When that failed to work I began to tighten the screws. If they are fully tightened down the deadbolt will not line up . Adjusting the screws with out fully screwing down tight will line the deadbolt up,and the lock will work properly.However,the screws come loose after a few time opening and closing the door or towing. Also,the deadbolt that extends out has play when extended back and forth,in other words it will flex in toward the interior and back to the outside. Is this normal?
Thanks!

this is not normal. I'd bring it in for warranty service.
