Default quadrajet check ball assembly

I am re-assembling a quadrajet and after installing the check ball and retainer I can hear the ball rattle very slightly when the carb body is shaken. I've never tried this before with the other quadrajets I have gone through. I've thought the retainer was supposed to hold the ball tight to its seat but is this wrong? Is the ball supposed to float a bit?
