Default intake tubing

Dumb question. Im not quite up on my tech terms but the tube that goes from the block to the intake, @ its connection on the top of the block, is that area supposed to have a lot of "play"? When i was removing my k/n filter for cleaning i noticed the flat piece was moving around a lot more then what i would think would be normal with a small gap

Like i said dumb question. But just making sure

Here's a pic of the crank case ventilation system. As you can see, that fitting you have in your pic is the air inlet fitting. The loose piece is the grommet. These grommets can be obtained from auto parts stores. So can the fittings.
