Default Loose/wiggly ignition switch

Searched around here and TI but couldn't find much on my particular issue, so here goes nothing. Check the video;

How do I fix this? I can't see any adjustment options :/

have you actually pulled anything off to check it? im at work, so the video doesnt show up (they block vids), but i mean, have you even looked for something to be loose? it may be something as simple as a loose screw..

what was it? when you ask something here, and find the answer, PLEASE make sure to post up the fix, so when people search, maybe they will find this post and fix it themselves **thumbsup**

Absolutely, I was going to get the diagram and post it but I ran into another problem. I'm trying to find a good close up diagram so it's clear, give me a minute and I'll have it.

The two bolts are right under the top plastic cover on the column but they're just smooth bolts, I can't use a screwdriver or wrench to grip them and tighten them down. The only thing I can do as far as I know is get a pair of pliers and use those to tighten them down...but I don't even know of they're threaded or they're some kind of rivet.

EDIT: Bingo. Stumbled upon a guide of sorts when using the right search terms... integra ignition tumbler. I guess I'll need to cut a groove into the heads of those bolts I mentioned...
