To help keep the Adjustable Ball Mount for 2" Hitches # TK5007 snug you'll need an anti-rattle device like the Malone # MPG908 which clamps down or the Let's Go Aero # 63232 which uses a block and threaded locking hitch pin. These basically stabilize the shank of your ball mount to help keep it snug up against the hitch.
This is pretty common for any ball mount no matter what price-point you're looking at. I've attached some review videos of these parts for you to check out.
