So, to fix my mirror rattle I simply bought some 1/2" flat-head 10-32 screws and a 10-32 tap at home depot (the tap came with a pilot drill bit that I didn't use). I used the tap to properly thread the holes first, then re-assembled using the bigger screws and ta-da, a nice firm grip to the plate. I will see if this permanently fixes the rattle: I expect it will.
