3.1 hours on the clock and I noticed this. I doubt its normal, any ideas on where I should start? Clicking sound plus some visible play where shock connects to frame. Nothing seems out of place.
Im able to make this sound wiggling swing arm up and down
Seems normal, there is almost always a bit of play in the linkage. If you are really concerned about the shock frame mount, it would be in the bushings where play would develop. That is also a pretty common thing, but definitely not with 3 hours on the bike.
The sound is coming from the mount, not inside shock like main shaft nut has come undone?
Since it only has 3 hours, I would take it to the dealer and see what they say. Maybe they will swap the shock and that will quickly tell you.

Manufacturing tolerance.
I would not accept that as normal. I'd check torque on everything. Also, loosen then re-torque with the bike on the ground (so it is weighted).
If that doesn't help, pull the shock and go from there. Bearings/seals/spacers/etc.
