I have no intention of trying to move it, by the way!
It is moulded around the insulated wire, coupling it to any of the wires may cause RF issues.
Do not try moving it, you will literally rip the wire clean out of it, rendering the PSU scrap.
Please stop worrying about a few tingles from the antenna, I get zapped good'n propper when taking a pair of tracky bottoms & hoody (polyester) out the dryer.
If you think a tingle is bad, try grabbing (by accident) something at mains 240v, you'll have the biggest hand-shake of your life!
