HELP!!! Remington 700 bolt release button

My Remington 700 bolt release button is loose. It's like there wiggle room going up and down and I don't know how to fix it. Yes the spring IS there. Can someone help?

First off, take a breath. It is supposed to be a little loose. It is perfectly fine.

Idk because if I were to flip it upside down you can hear it

Really, it's okay. It isn't made to fit tightly.

That bolt stop release is normally a bit loose, but the OP's sounds odd. I would pull the action out of the stock and make sure the bolt stop spring is in right and the e-ring is on the pin that holds the release.
