Coupler Replacement for Rattling Collar Style Coupler on Trailer

Question

Question:

Hi, I have brand new 5x8 cargo trailer. Unfortunately, I get some chatter between the hitch ball and coupler. It is a collar style coupler. From what I hear, this is a common issue with this coupler style. Is this correct? If so, would you recommend a replacement? It is an a-frame connector. Thanks!
