MVA Malcolm Rear Mount Question

I just picked up a set of MVA schuetzen style mounts and was wondering if I am missing a piece.  a 3/4" tube rattles around slightly in the rear mount.  Is there supposed to be something to apply tension?  Possible related to the 2 screws on top of the mount?

Thanks

Jack

Yes, there are two tiny little nylon detente balls that go between the spring and the scope and applies tension to the scope tube.

I found a solution.  Hobby Lobby #148007 3mm white plastic beads.  1000 for $2.99.  Should be a lifetime supply even if they do fall out when you remove the mount.
