I always thought it was the firing pin block but last night I figured it out when I took the gun a part for cleaning. My extractor is making this clicking/ticking noise when I tilt the gun up and down. My dad has one and it doesn't make this sound, I do not think this is normal.... I never has had a problem ejecting shells, I am worried this could lead to major problems later? the extractor is loose somehow?
Finally found the "problem" on my p238, ejector is making rattling noise.

I would be able to worry about something more important than an ejector that rattles, I have two P238 and a 938 that I was blissfully ignorant of their rattle. Between the three pistols approximately 1200 rounds have gone "boom" without incident, I think I shall continue to ignore the rattle which is only heard if I shake the little critter vigorously.

The ejector is loose like that in my Star M43, which is a similar design. If it works, don't worry about it.
I took both of my P238s apart last night to clean the extractors and the extractor channels in the action.
I was surprised that both of them fit somewhat loosely as compared to a 1911. I suppose this is what the OP is noticing.
My guess is no problem. As long as the gun is functioning OK (and they always do--the P238 is an excellent gun) you should be good to go.
