This small door handle end cap is loose, is there a bolt behind the door to tighten this? Or does this just snap into place & there’s no way to tighten?

Edit it looks like there is a bolt through the back.

Edit #2: had to take off the door panel, move the lock and get to that door cap bolt to tighten it.

Take the door panel off and peel the moisture barrier down
