Ice maker fan noise and ice buildup

[Majmetro]

Refrigerator Model:  RF24FSEDBSR/AA  Manufactured: Aug 2016

Ice is building up above the ice maker fan, interfering with the fan blades subsequently making noise.

There is a large chunk of ice forming above the ice maker auger fan.  Is this normal?

The plastic structure surrounding the rigid foam insulation appears to be deformed.  Would this contribute to ice build up in this area?
