The early couplers were round and had a straight spring piece in them. Later ones are moulded. ?I¡¯m guessing you have the older type, missing the spring piece or with a piece that is no longer arced.?
If reposting them onto both shafts doesn¡¯t help, look for replacements. ?Sometimes, Nationwide will have them.?

Have you lost the spring piece inside?? They shouldn't have play.? Every one I have seen is actually really tight, hard to get loose to
remove the cage.
They probably should be insulated between shafts, I think.? There are nylon couplers with screws, that might be a good substitute.
Or if they don't have to insulate, there are brass ones.
