You misused it. Coolers on boats are designed to hold beer and ice only.
Putting soft drinks in there amounts to abuse of the equipment.

The question part........??

Is this normal? Did I "misuse" it? Does anyone else have one mounted
that way?

Overall my Seaswirl seems well built....... EXCEPT.

The glove compartment is actually a fully insulated cooler with a thru
hull
drain and everything. Cool!

So old Clams here puts in 2 bags of ice and a 6 each of coke and beer.
And
WALLA! This cooler thingie falls right to the floor inside it's
compartment.
Hmmmmm.

Investigation reveals that this "glove cooler" was held on by *nothing*
other than that spray in foam insulation stuff. Nothing - not a bracket,
not a screw, not so much as a peice of tape.

I just got done re-foaming it in. Then I'm building it a little "stand"
under there. It shant come down again. (sigh)
