The side plate should not move(no rattle) with it installed and the TD lever in the up position; with or without the lever and pin.
The TD lever stem actually cams the plate to the rear(not "in") into a tight fit to the frame when fitted correctly; of course the arm of the lever holds in in or down by pressing against the tab.
Did the #82 not come with a lever and pin?
