Clicking noise on x/y axis travel

So, I'm new to Ratrig/Vcore, as I recently picked up a Vcore 3 for a very reasonable price.

I'll start this weekend with really sitting down and making sure the printer is fully squared, then making sure everything's nice and clean and properly set.

Anyways, in my initial testing of the unit, I've noticed this clicking during some movements, and it appears to be coming from the vicinity of the back right motor/roller assembly. My gut tells me bearing, but on a printer I'm not fully knowledgeable in, it could also be many super specific corner cases.

Anyways, attached video of z tilt calibration. You can hear one click right at the beginning, then several clicks in rhythmic order a bit after that as the carriage moves from the second z tilt properly spot.

I'd assume bearing or something wrong with the internals of the back right belt loop madness, but I'm hoping someone here could either confirm that, or point me in a more appropriate direction. Or, tell me I'm being insane and it's not a concern.
