How to test if an OTA is broken?

It may be attempting to escape

I have a module I’m putting together and it has two 16 pin ICs and one 8 pin ICs. The 8 pin IC is fine, but the 16 pin ones (one to a greater degree than the other) won’t stay in their sockets. The least force will dislodge them. I’ve had one literally leap out of the socket and land a couple inches away while I was pressing a scope probe to the other side of the board.
