if it flops around its probably loose and will soon break.   80-'84 sliding
doorhandles are NLA new so i suggest you correct the problem ASAP before
you break it..

have you removed the inner doorpanel and tightened the set screw?    its
probably loose as a goose.    also you may be missing the plastic
collar/escucheon that fits in the hole in the sliding door as well..
