Any way to make the Hot End Isolator be rigid/fixed inside its hole?

If you use the spring on that um2, you could increase the pressure on the steel coupler by leaving 1mm of distance between the ptfe/steel, by rotating the steel coupler counterclockwise. That should generate enough pressure to keep all without wiggle (don't leave more than that or the pressure will short the ptfe life span). Also, there's fixed spring replacements. They recommend to print it on xt/hightemp, but I use one printed on pla that so far it's alive and kicking for almost 3months without signs of deformation.
Another Cura release has arrived and in this 5.8 beta release, the focus is on improving Z seams, as well as completing support for the full Method series of printers by introducing a profile for the UltiMaker Method.
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications

The Ultimaker Hot End Isolator was had a small fat section at the top which would be tight in the Aluminium Plate and the bottom bit would be loose.
3D solex have a Hot End Isolator V2 which is fat all the way down. this should stop any wiggle.
You could also print a Spring replacement part and that should hold it flat.
