Default Cayman (base) 2016, headlight housing flew out of its housing while on road track

Base Cayman 2016, entire headlight housing flew out of its location in the cars body. I’m assuming enough air pressure built up underneath it and forced it out. Anyone else have this problem ?

I saw it happen to one other person on the track. He had a clear bra installed and wrapped around the edges near the headlight. The thickness of the film prevented full seating of the headlight in the housing.

I have had it happen. It is generally caused by a faulty installation and the housing not seating correctly - has nothing to do with air pressure.
