Default Electricity meter is rattling

Ive just converted my integral garage into a room, with a walk in
cupboard at the back
The electricity meter used to be at the back of the garage mounted on a
wooden board ( a piece of flooring by the looks of it). Anyway i had to
relocate this board by moving it a few inches higher up the wall to
allow my distribution board to be sited under it. The board was just
nailed to the plasterboard wall so I removed it and the whole board
rotated 90 degrees and i used one nail to hold it in place temporarily.
When I got all the work down, i turned the board back to it original
location and moved it higher up the wall and screwed it into place.
But now the meter has got this horrendous rattle noise coming from it,
sometimes if i tap the meter the rattle will go away but it returns a
few seconds later.
Im in Scotland so does anyone know who i should get to fix this ( the
company i pay my electric bill to or someone else) and will there be a
cost as if i am correct in believing, technically the electric meter
isnt my property

TIA
