The ignition/gas plate should have a pinch bolt underneath that, when tightened, clamps the plate onto the column. Some repro ones do have a centre hole that is a touch big so need either a lot of tightening or, better, a turn of shim between the hole and the column. The steering wheel should be tight on its splines when the securing nut is tight. Wear in the splines will lead to problems. Whilst the column splines are steel and not likely to wear in normal use, the splines in the steering wheel are in the alloy casting and can wear. However, are you sure it's play at the steering wheel and not play in the steering box lower down?
