It's only been noticed about 10 rides in. Looking for a fix or some help, YT I am sure will support.
What’s the issue here? YT Capra 2024 riders anything similar?

Do not ride it. Contact YT.
Yeah, I’d bring it to the YT dealer that you bought it from, they should be able to replace those bearings/bushings quick snap.
How does the other side look? Are there any missing spacers of any kind when you compare both sides? If not, then you probably need to take it apart and inspect the pivot bearings just to be safe. My guess, the pivot pin is loose and you will need to tighten and retorque it.
When you buy a bike at a shop, they ask you to usually bring it in so they can retighten any bolts that might have gotten loose from the bike settling in with all of its pivot joints.
If you only did 10 rides, you probably hit the point where you would have to take it to a LBS for them to inspect all the torque on your bolts again.
I had a similar issue with a Rocky Mountain Element. Turned out it wasn’t a bushing issue, but the chainstay was actually misshapen such that a flange that was supposed to be there wasn’t, allowing it to snap around in weird ways. Either way, probably a warranty issue — I just hope they take care of it speedily for you.
Either a spacer/washer/bushing is missing, so one of the little parts that gets assembled into the frame with the bearing, or something is actually wrong with the frame.
Either way don’t ride it like that and contact whoever you bought it from for warranty issue.
Edit: Assuming everything is tightened properly although… if parts are missing don’t go cranking the bolts to torque specs because that’s also bad.
Missing bushings. Just hope that the bore isn’t damaged, but it probably is already damaged if ten rides in.
Looks like a missing spacer/washer.
Is the pivot bolt at the correct torque?
If so, send this video to YT and get them to fix it.
