If it doesn't rotate, it's good. Leave it be.Fact is, the stud won’t turn with what pressure I can get on it but it still will move slightly side to side with some pressure.

Well, they do flex side to side pretty easily, that's kinda normal. It is a very long stud.

Oh yeah if it's just moving around in the hole that's completely normal. The holes are loose by design several act as oil return passages. I took that it was TURNING loose.
If you're concerned with it possibly being backed out, measure how much stud is sticking out above the head and compare that to the others.

Good job!
I got a 3/8 x6 wobble extension with a 3/8 17mm 6 point socket, and can now easily torque those inner 4
don't forget to hand snug the 6mm over the cam chain tensioner. Usually involves a chain of 1/4 drive sockets, wobble extensions to get on the head
Well just had a crazy idea for torqueing hard to access nuts.
Can you access them with a double box end wrench? Do you have a fish scale?
Just measured my Craftsman 17mmX19mm box end wrench and center to center it is 9 inches. That's just .75 of a foot. So if I was to put the 17mm end on a fastener and hook a fish scale to the 19mm end and keep the fish scale pulling at a 90º angle to the wrench and pulled on the wrench with scale reading 40 lb. that would give me a 30 foot pound torque on the nut.
With a little imagination one could use this as a test of the accuracy of a torque wrench!
