help with derailleur fitting

Hi Guys

derailleur: campgnolo nuovo record

dropout: campagnolo 1010 (long)

Fitted the rear derailleur this afternoon and tightened the top bolt nice and tight, prior to this i removed the bolt to help with cleaning, i greased the hole which the bolt goes through

The derailleur now just hangs loose and swings backwards and forwards when you tap it with your finger, is this correct ?
