Mark, when you remove the fan it reveals a fairly substantial nut (secured with a split pin) which prevents the assembly from going anywhere very much. Behind this you may find various washers or a flanged bush which can be adjusted to take out excessive float should you wish to. As it means taking the radiator out you may want to save the task for later.
A word of warning though, there's a difference between end float and loose fan screws. If the two long thin screws which secure the fan (at the very front) come loose they will engrave a neat circle in your radiator or worse. You can usually hear a distinctive tinkling sound if the fan is starting to come loose. And it chirrups loudly when it wants for grease.
