Once you have the mirror in your hand, you'll see a couple screws on the top side that hold a metal plate over the "ball" on top. Those screws could be a little loose or the threads could be messed up. You might be able to slightly bend the metal plate a little to put more pressure on the "ball".

I took mine apart and slightly bent the metal plate. All was good afterwards.
