Exclamation Melting electrical tape?

Soo, On my drivers side, the metal wire that holds the bulb in place is a bit loose, creating an "unequal" look to the light when not in fully. I put some electrical tape behind the bulb (where the wire comes out) to hold it firmly in place. Is there a chance it will melt or something?
