Default Loose AFS

Upon replacing the passenger low beam bulb in my 2006 GS, I noticed that the AFS unit is quite loose and can be moved left and right with no pressure. I'm thinking some bolts may have loosened. I know it's supposed to move in both directions, but that would be operated by a motor so I should feel resistance. I see LOTS of posts related to blinking lights and I wonder it this would be a cause. I thought mine going off and on intermittently was due to a failing bulb.
Anyone know how to tighten this?

There is a small amount of play in the AFS mechanism. Appears to be normal. It happens for me as well on bumpy surfaces.

also an issue on the IS-F
