AO Smith GPVX - 75L clinking noise

I just purchased a 75 gal HWH for my radiant heat. It was delivered yesterday. When the lowered it off the truck it was still on a shipping pallet. I tilted it from side to side to walk it into my garage for storage until I need it. I noticed a clinking noise and seemed to come from the top. I know there are tubes running down but are they supposed to be loose? I took a video with audio but can't seem to attach.

Hi, If it's a gas fired heater, that could be the flue baffle clanking around. Pull that up and out and see if the noise happens anymore.
Yours, Larry0 -
Ok, I'll try that. It's got the direct power vent so I'll have to remove that.0
