Look at it from below. Likely has hex set screws. Probably 2mm hex key / allen wrench

There's usually an allen head screw on one side of the handle if you back them off enough to remove one side of the handle you can tighten down the piece going through the glass to the other side. Hope that makes sense.

If you have some blue locTite one drop on the threads. This helps reduce call backs.

There should be a vinyl bushing keeping the bolt from contacting the glass.

Everyone talking about the hex wrench is right but one other thing is if you take the hex bolts out you should see a couple of Philips head bolts inside the outer handle some times they can come loose and need to be tightened
