Make sure the white bit is in your key all the way. Check with tape.

Hm. Weird issue.

That's the right part. They're sometimes called costar stabilizers. You might be able to use some tape to wedge the clip into place so it stops rattling.

What model of keyboard are you using?

Just put some clingfilm over the hole in the keycap before installing the insert and it should fit in place more snugly.
