I recently installed a new style steering actuator and hoses part number 8M0063381 and the tube that the steering came threads onto moves side to side about 1/8"-3/16" can someone please tell me if this is normal or is it wrong can it be tightened?

I have that same slack in mine. It has external steering and cable from the helm to the actuator with a Brazil valve. I thought it was normal but does create slop at the wheel which I understood could only be fixed with full hydraulic steering. I would love to know if there is a fix as well.
