Default Driver side exterior door handle rattling, HELP

The driver side exterior door handle seems to be slightly loose, i.e. rattling. I know it has to be screwed it but I cannot find out where. Does anyone know how I can tighten the door handle so it does not move inside of the pocket it is in, in the door?? The entire door handle assembly moves slightly. It does not do this on the pass side. Thanks for the help!!!

Think you have to take the door panel off and tighten it from the inside.

Default Does anyone know if it is the top bolt on the left that tightens this??

I have looked at the diagram on Vetteessentials of taking the door cover off. Am I correct in stating its the top bolt on the left that looks like it is directly behind where the door handle would be. TIA.
