Default how is the water pipe in back of block fastened?

i'm doing a JRSC install and i had to bend one of the fittings on the water pipe to a horizontal position. i stuck a tool in there and applied downward pressure. nothing happened so i carefully applied a little more, and then all of a sudden the whole pipe turned so that the fitting was pointing downward. my concern though is that i can now turn the pipe by hand easily. did i break loose something that i shouldnt have? (is it going to leak when i start it up?) i've never seen either end of the pipe so i didnt know if it was just a gasket that sealed it or if there are actual threads on either end of the pipe for a nut to secure it. can someone please let me know if i damaged anything or if i need to remove the water pump, etc to tighten whatever is loose? i dont want to complete this install and then have to take it all apart again.

THANKYOU

that pipe is only held together with an oring on both ends . as long as the oring is in there it should move becuase there is tab flange on it that locks it one location
