Solenoid post loose/lateral play -- this OK?

While cleaning my solenoid electrical connections, I noticed the stud post the battery connects to moves back and forth in its socket. Is this normal? I am thinking maybe if it\s not , then it could not be making a good connection and be making my starter turn slower than it should and ultimately making my car not start below 35F without a good jump and more cranking than is good for it.

You can tell me to search off if you want. I am going to do that anyway . Just not yet.

thanks
