spare tire clunk from trunk

I feel like I'm missing something from the spare tire holder area in the trunk. I have the plastic screw insert to hold the basket, then the spare tire, then the basket that fits in the spare tire and screws down, then the plastic insert to the basket that holds the jack, etc. However, the tire is not snug in the trunk. Am I missing a piece of foam or plastic or something to snug everything down? The basket will not tighten down any more and it's loose so that when I go over bumps, it rattles back there. Any suggestions?
