Well tonight I am going to solder my diode to the circuit i got from rckstr. So I was putting them in roach clips and realized before I did that that the diode is loose in the housing. :-? I can twist the whole thing around the diode with ease but if i pull the diode out a bit it gets tight. Is this normal or is it just me and also note I did take it apart but it was loose before that.

Thanks for all the help so far
