Shock guards/covers rattling

Morning ALL!
Title says it all, had shop replace fork seals and now the shrouds/cans on top of front shocks rattle... Any easy fix as opposed to taking everything apart?

TIA - SB

Never needed to tried this, but maybe some clear silicone caulking. Put a small bead around and work it into the joint with a wet finger.

I'm not sure if there's a cutout in them. If there is it may be just touching. Turn them right or left a little by hand.

If it wasn't doing it before and it is now then something is not right. I would run it back to the shop and let them take it down and find out what is causing it.
