Finderscope issues

I have a newly acquired SkyWatcher 10" collapsible dobsonian. My main problem is that I can never get the finderscope steady; there's always a wobble to it, both at the mount which attaches to the OTA, and in the finderscope housing itself.

I have no problem with the finderscope optics, and I don't see I need to obtain a telrad, or a laser finder; all I need to do is somehow eliminate the wobble so that when the finderscope is aligned it stays aligned.

Are there any tricks or techniques for this? (Blu-tack? Gaffer tape? Cable ties?)

Many thanks!
