If the bearing is loose you will want to put a small amount of super glue.  And I can’t emphasize enough that you only need a small amount.  Maybe even just a drop on both sides that the bearing touches on the inside hole in the spinner stack. Also spread out the glue to flatten it out with the tip of the applicator. Be extremely careful when you slide in the bearing to not get glue in the center of the bearing.
