This is the first response

Holy cow that moves. This is not a normal issue. My first guess is the bracket is loose maybe? The back bracket is tight to the head? As in the bolt holes in the head are clean? We have just updated that bracket using counter sunk holes on the back bracket but this was to get it to fit a VVT application. We also have started running larger, thicker diameter spacers on all of our a/c brackets.

Then he sent he this

You can also mount a spring loaded tensioner on this bracket- Gates 38164
