Not normal, but not bad. The actual bolt that holds the bottom of the housing in place is on the other end of the air filter housing. I think it's a captive screw, but I don't remember. You may have to take the top off and remove the air filter to see what's going on.
Looks like you have a Euro R56 MINI Cooper S , No MAF.
The air intake box should have a screw that holds down the passenger side.
The grommet on the intake manifold look damaged or loose. Replace them , the pegs ( feet of the lower airbox ) will hold tight then. 3 on them and the 4th is part of that screw connection on the passenger side.
