And if that doesn't work you can take the little piece out and bend it to tighten up the clearances. 1971 Plymouth Satellite 408/904 8 3/4 3.23 SG

When you get it off, you will see a plate that puts pressure on the ball. You should be able to tighten the screws in order to put enough pressure on the ball to hold the mirror. If not, as mentioned above, you can either bend the pressure plate a bit, or shim it with something. Master, again and still
