Jackson Racing oil cooler installation issue/question

Hi everyone - I am in the process of installing a JR oil cooler in a normally aspirated FR-S. My issue relates to the two sandwich plates and the extension (approx 3 in. pipe) that runs through them. I have the two plates properly oriented with their o-rings properly installed. When I fully tighten the extension pipe that runs through them and holds them down, I can turn them side-to-side (rotate them) pretty easily by hand. I had expected that they would be tight.

When I put an oil filter on, and tighten it down, it tightens everything up, so this might be how it is expected to be when installed properly, but I was surprised that the sandwich plates were not very tight when the extension pipe is fully tightened down.

Just checking to see if this is expected/normal or not. Thanks in advance.
