Housing for prop shaft is loose

I have a 1995 175 hp Evinrude Intruder.
Problem: Prop housing is loose, move slightly side to side.
I tighten the two nuts on the slotted hold downs but the housing does not tighten. Is there shims or washers I need to add? Anyone know why it would be loose?

The prop housing I am refering to is called the BEARING HSG. SEAL ***Y.
This ***embly is loose. Any help?
