As I recall, no need to mess with the escutcheon. You turn the key to #1 position, then press the square button on the electrical connector and slide the bar back to release the electrical connector. Then the 2 round buttons are pressed in, this will release the electrical switch, it is then slid back out of the housing. Then put it back together the same way. I may have oversimplified, but that's the gist of it right there.
As far as the lock housing being loose in the column, that MAY be from the escutcheon being loose. You can certainly try tightening the nut on special retaining bolt. Isn't the profile kind of a rounded off square shape where the lock inserts into the steering jacket?
