Curious about a noise - is it normal?

I just assembled my MK3S and everything seems to be fine. My Prusa logo print and Benchy came out nice (Except a little stringing on Benchy) but I noticed when the extruder moves all the way to the left in the very beginning it hits the orange piece on the z axis rods and I hear it. It’s like it runs in to it to stop moving left. It doesn’t do it again while  printing but I was wondering if this is normal. Any ideas?

Thanks

Here's a link to a video of the noises. It is in the very beginning before a print starts and also the bed seems to go all the way back and hit the frame. Thoughts?  Thanks

Totally normal.  That's the printer finding the x-axis zero point.  All part of the homing routine.
You'll notice that the bed does the same thing.
