Obnoxious noise from mirage drive.

I've got an annoying clicking noise coming from my mirage drive. A noise I didn't have on my last two drives, and every other drive I've picked up doesn't have. My drive is less than two months old.

After lots of playing around with it, I finally found the culprit. The the pin that secures it in the adjustment lever isn't snug. Theres a pretty decent amount of play in the shaft. (insert bus kid and jords joke here)

So whenever I alternate from peddling back to front and front to back, theres a click. Combine that with it going on both peddles and its a very annoying, unwanted noise. I've been trying to come up with ways to fix the solution without having to go to hobie about it, but I'm pretty empty on a permanent solution. I've tried numerous styles of shims, a robber type grommet and wrapping it in tape. Nothing works in a way that it will permanently resolve the issue. Anyone have any other ideas, does anyone else experience this?
