Ball screw thingie keeps coming out of housing thingie

Hi all,

My first post (still going very slowly up the learning curve doing basic stuff – I’m a software guy – hardware is new to me).

See attached picture. When it happens the right y-axis ball screw kind of shimmies around when its traveling back towards 0. After the carve I kind screw it back in and get it hand tight. I’m not sure how this plastic housing is supposed to be fixed in place inside the bottom right footing, but’s clearly not.

How can I fix this?

Nevermind. Watching a tangentially related support video made me realize its safe just to tighten that thing down with a hex key. For some reason I was thinking that thing would be fastened in the foot, but duh…
