Default Loose Auto Shift lever

Hey, Everyone.
I'm having trouble figuring out what's causing this problem. I have an Automatic 2001 Ram 1500. The shift lever is "loose" and bounces around when I'm driving. What could be causing this? Could it be the shift interlock? I've noticed that that seems to be broken too as I can just shift from park to drive without pressing the brake pedal.

I have a video below to better show what I'm talking about.

There is no shift interlock, so no need to worry about that aspect.

I looks like the lever itself is what is sloppy, might wanna pop the pin it pivots on, and see what that hole looks like. May just need to replace the lever.
