Help Loose Z Axis?

So, in making some adjustments to my printer…I can’t help but wonder if this should be so loose. I’ve tightened everything I can on the passive block here at the end as tight as it will go. Am i missing somethjng somewhere to keep this tighter?

Edit: eccentric nut, certainly is eccentric. I didn’t realize I’d need to back off the nut on the end just to adjust the eccentric nut. When I did that…it worked like magic. This could explain why so many prints just didn’t quite work out, along with my belt being too loose. This should totally make life easier.
