Default pop-up headlight shakes going over bumps

My driver's side headlight shakes and vibrates whenever I drive over a bump, and even a little bit at idle because of the lopey cam. The passenger side is fine. What's loose? Does anyone else have tightness problems with their pop-up headlights?

There is a cable that is the stop when they go up, just take the screw out out of the end where it attaches to the body and add washers till the cable is tight.

The ls1 style popup headlights work differently. they have a metal stop that holds it in place. Also, sometimes the the bolts that hold the entire bracket
in place will be loose. Thats what was up with mine.
