Vacuum pump / brake booster nipple loose

Well - slowly but surely I am chipping away at my valve cover / timing cover and valley pan project.

Last night I reinstalled the front right timing cover and vacuum pump. Upon reassembly I noticed that the big-nipple on the pump is a little loose and spins in the housing. Is this expected behavior? I didn't remove the hose from the pump when I pulled the timing cover. I just moved the assembly out of the way.

Should the nipple be like this? It seems like it'd leak....
