It should be snug. It can be super tight if you want it too. The reason why you lost it is becaise it was too loose. Dont worry about the spring. it can easily be inserted and it wont hinder the performance. All the spring does in regards to the pin is to rotate around it as needed. as long as that functionality of the spring is not impeded by the pin your using, you're ok.

The pin can be snug to the chasis but the spring must be able to move freely.
