failed inspection, steering column is loose

Do you mean the whole column is loose?? Very unusual but can be the major mounting points of the column itself in that case.
I find it much more normal for the steering wheel itself to become loose with wiggled side to side. That is a broken stud inside the column itself.

A helms manual is your friend. Particularly if the wheel moves and the column doesn't. Than you will need a special tool to get in the column and you will also need to pull the airbag which I would never try without a Helms.
If the column is moving and the steering wheel is only moving with it than it is likely an exterior fix and that is much much easier.

The tilt bowl bolts could also be the culprit, causing the steering wheel itself to pivot as a whole.
