License Plate Light Rattles with sub

I noticed that the light above my license plate rattles from the subwoofer in my car. But I can't figure out how I could tighten it. Anyone have any ideas for getting rid of that rattle? Thanks.

A shim of some sort to tighten up the slack, prevent the rattle.

A wedge, pick any convenient material, like plastic, and shove it between the mount and light.

Even better, put a bunch of weatherstripping around the plate, and an X in the middle of the back of it, bye bye rattle!
