The rack is much tighter now but i'm curious if it's normal to have a very small amount of play. I'm talking about 0.75 inches of play when rocking it left and right.

A pop followed by the bolt spinning sounds like a broken bolt to me. If it were me, I'd remove the nut and bolt and pull the bracket off to check for what broke. I'd also be hoping for a broken bolt rather than pulled threads because it will be a lot easier to fix.
