I think the main issue is you don't have any actual Random Flow Generator® Nozzle. The RFG looks off - if you don't see "VCA", then it's not a Random Flow Generator nozzle - it's an approximation.
The other main issue is the modular hose parts are clearly 3D printed, as opposed to genuine Loc-Line modular hose.
Your best bet would be to purchase one our kit that is designed and tested to work with that tank, and includes actual Loc-Line parts for a good snug fit.
You have a few options:
You can add one of our Ultimate Nano Tank Return line upgrade kits, which his designed specifically for this tank, and is a direct-fit replacement for the stock setup.

You can put together a single 1/2in in RFG solution as you have tried to do here. You'll need two items. the Loc-Line and the RFG
1/2in loc-line
vividcreativeaquatics.com
1/2in Random Flow Generator

Both options are easy to install and will fit perfectly.
hope that helps.

@Vivid Creative Aquatics I actually have the same problem with genuine 1/4" loc-line and RFG I just bought off the site. If I even touch the RFG it falls off.
Send us a DM, and we'll get you setup for a replacement ASAP.
In the meantime - try swamping the RFGs to a different segments of Loc-line. We have noticed some strange variations in the 1/4in Loc-line lately. not sure why, but it's only been recently. As a result, we have tighten up our tolerances on the 1/4in RFG and tweaked the connector to accommodate the variation.
Were in the office today as well (for at least another 2 hours) , if you want to just call in

Took a second look at your photo today, and noticed you're in London (according to your profile) . We have a number of resellers in your local market and you should be able to find our Ultimate Nano Tank Return line upgrade kit at a local fish store or one of our U.K. based online retailers.Hi all, I am trying to replace the stock nozzle on the fluval evo13.5. have attached a 1/2" rfg nozzle but it is very loose/wobbly?
Have I attached it correctly?

Also, if you wanted to go with just the single 1/2in Random Flow Generator®, then you could actually use one of our Waterbox Flow kits (also available locally) . It includes the 2 segments of actual Loc-Line modular hose and the RFG. it also includes the Waterbox adapters, but in your case, you would not need them.
hope that helps.
