Is a hole and suctioning feeling normal after bone grafting?

I had to redo a bone graft again for the second time in a row after the first attempt right after an failed implant was unsuccessful as my tissue was too soft due to inflammation.

The doc used glue instead of a membrane this time so I was concerned if it was normal to feel suctioning when I talk or eat a certain way.

I noticed a small hole, but I’m wondering if the doc is just monitoring since the graft is mainly intact (previously there was a def full thickness hole, felt bits of bone particles in my mouth and a stitch came out).

Will attach a photo of the progression I saw, first two prior to seeing the doc then the third photo was taken after.

Just want to double check a small hole can be okay and the suctioning I feel is not because of the hole but the glue used?

Any insight would be appreciated, thanks very much
