Pass Front axle loose

Hello,
i need some advice on an issue I'm having. i have 2009 g37x that has a issue of the pass front axle is a little loose in the front diff. when i go over bumps, it makes noise. i went under to pushed the axle in, it feels like its in but i can give it a little jiggle. i eventually bought another front carrier diff off eBay and bought a new axle from auto zone. installed everything (correctly + fluids)i did have to replace my oil pressure sensor because i broke it when loosening the fill hole for the carrier diff. it was fine for a day or so and then started making noise after going over bumps. i originally thought it could've been the c-clip thats on the axle shaft was the issue because it wasn't on the axle but apparently the clip is inside the carrier diff. i felt it click in place but its jiggling so i don't understand what the deal is. Any ideas?
Thanks

I I bought another oem axle. It fixed the little jiggle in the front diff. I found the noise issue to be the sway bar link. So that solved my issue. Now I have to change the lower control arm on the drive side
