When my cylinder is out, the entire thing can slide back towards the grip. I don't think this is normal because its scratching the sideplate!

Not normal at all! IS the ejector rod even in it?

You are missing the cylinderstop on the sideplate.
I did something wrong on my DW once, and it made the rod rectract the wrong way... ejected all casings right out when i swung it open. Hell of a time getting it back in with new cases....

Well for one thing it's missing that little half-moon cylinder stop thingy.

Looks like the mushroom tip on the ejector rod is probably keeping it from sliding all the way out.
Do as LB suggested & contact the folks at DW, they will get you fixed up. In the meantime, since you need to remove that side plate anyway, I'd take it apart & give the gun a good scrubbing. I see gunk on that crane.

Well, all the answers are already posted.... So I'll just say--take the time while you are waiting on that part and strip her down for a good cleaning.

Yep, +1 on what LB said
You can see the hole above the trigger. Take the side
plate off install new part, lube while your in there and put plate back on.

I see what you mean. Someone told me once that the cylinder stop was missing, I mis understood the function and assumed it was the part that comes up after trigger pull under the cylinder to stop rotation beyond the next round. I knew that was there. I guess I assumed that hole was there for a reason. I had to do quite the restore on this gun and a few parts were missing.
Thanks for your help.
