Sound like the slipper plate has broke , And the screw has pulled through...
With enough force u can make it move. But if its easy to move u have issues. Inside of the flange, that is shown in the pic, should be a 2mn screw see if its there

Yes, the slipper. Stick a 2mm up the long end and feel for the hex screw. Use a flash lite if needed. Is it there? Is it easy to turn? Don’t crank on it, you’ll damage the plastic screw on the other end maybe if you tighten it too much.

No…not unless the plastic nut is stripped. I’m not had to deal with it yet so I’m not super sure. I know that I naively put Loctite on two of my slippers that had the plastic nut, when I was learning, and it didn’t cause issues either way. I’m super careful with adjusting though.
Some people say tighten it up all the way and then lossen it 1.5+ turns. I think that tightening it often then loosening can weaken the plastic nut, so I learned to do it by feel, and also how it was driving/sounding before I pulled the motor…which I do every 3 runs.
Yep @Velodromed is correct. Thats your slipper clutch. If u remove the screw the pieces come apart of course. It super easy to put back together if u want to familiarize urself with it. No lock tite is needed if ur plastic nut is good. Unless u notice it to loosen anyway then blue locktite. I keep mine at about 2 full turns off from tight. **If u watch the youtube vids when they take the center driveshaft out and insert a 2mm hex in slipper without removing and roll car till wheels stop rolling** THIS IS A FULLY TIGHTEN CLUTCH. It makes more apt to pop driveshafts. Kill diffs. Pop wheelies. Which can be done even at 2 turns from tight
