Default Help needed: why is my rotor loose??? (vid inside)

I was doing a DIY on extended stud replacement, and when I put everything back together, my rotor is loose. All bolts are tight.

What's the problem here?

Here is a vid of my problem:

I think that is perfectly normal. When you tighten the lug bolts, the rotor will then be held solidly in place.

What do you mean "all bolts are tightened?" I do not see any bolts holding the rotor in place.

It's all good man, everyone learns somehow. I like that you took the initiative to do the work yourself!
