I have quick question. When you snaped your filter back in. Black beacket into the coolant holder Does your filter wiggle a little. Im not sure if it supposed to be like that or its supposed to sit tight and no movement at all.

 

Mine is also a bit loose and it is installed on a brand new bracket! Found my bracket broken when I took out the engine for coolant pipes welding...

 

thats a big chunk missing....
YA i just took it out and snapped again back in...same, I cant believe they using such a weird bracket to hold fuel filter in place...I moved it around and its not coming out, so i just leave it the way it sits
