I use Leica finders, so haven't encountered this problem myself.  I have 
seen suggestions by others that recommend using thin cardboard shims cut to 
fit the accessory shoe.  That will help with vertical clearance.  If the 
problem is with lateral movement, the only suggestion I have is to remove 
the screws that attach the shoe to the camera and carefully apply pressure 
to the sides of the shoe to tighten it up.  However, if you go too far, 
Leica accessories may not go into the shoe.
