Ford Fiesta 2014 - Dashboard rattling on startup

Hello everyone. 
 

I bought a japanese  Ford Fiesta 2014 1.0 Ecoboost Automatic from a local dealer. I’ve done a full service at Ford and the car had no problems whatsoever. It currently has 74000km on it. 

For about 2 months whenever I start up the engine (keyless start) I can hear some rattling through the dashboard as if something is stuck and can’t move. The rattling seems to appear everytime I change the direction of the airflow. 

I’m kinda lost as to what the issue is and was wondering if anyone faced a similar issue and found a solution. 
 

cheers
