Default 68 posi traction bolt

Just pulled the plug to check rear posi fluid levels. When I ran the bolt back in after checking I noticed that the plastic posi traction warning tag that collars the bolt moves freely. The bolt is in as tight as I can get it and it went in smoothly without misthreading. Anyone know if this is normal or should the bolt tighten down enough to no allow this tag to move. I am concerned I didnt get the bolt in far enough to prevent leaking and I didnt notice if the tag moved freely before removing the bolt.

That's normal, it's a tapered pipe plug (NPT), just snug it, doesn't need to be super tight.
