Loose Tuner?

[Definitely]

so my D string tuner key is loose and rattles whenever I play A D or G string, right now I have it mcgyvered with a clamp holding it in place but is there any way I can permanently fix this or do I just have to get new tuner keys?

Is there a screw loose somewhere on there? Perhaps at the top of the tuner or on the brace that holds it on the head?

Or, I have heard that buying a tort pickguard and putting on flats can solve any problem with a bass...
