How to Tighten up Rear Sight Aperture

Today I noticed the rear sight aperture wiggles a little (as does the plate that sits on top) more than I thought it should. Is there a way to tighten them up? Thanks!

try a new spring cover(the outside over aperature).They have an indent that presses down that sometimes wears flat.
