No problems on mine since I got it.

You'd better return it to the shop for a check and just in case, a swap.

Fungus can masuk just my air suction when you zoom out your lens...

But seriously, your front lens element popped out?? Sounds like poor quality lens that the QC checks missed at the factory... or maybe a bad design - the designers should have know, for example, that lens hoods can potentially act as a lever to pry that section loose from the others, and which user doesn't put on the lens hood on a lens almost all the time?

There is no difference in terms of magnitude of applied moment/torque when your lens hoods is mounted either inverted or in operating position:
