Hi.... This is not an easy task and unless the looseness is impeding the use of the iPod i DONT recommend attempting it as you may cause more harm then good...
If you want to go ahead with the repair follow this repair guide:
iPod Touch 3rd Generation Teardown
up to step 4. after you have completed step 4, CAREFULLY bend the metal tabs around the frame towards the outside if the ipod, then reassemble the ipod in reverse order.
If your ipod us still under warranty I would call apple as they will be more than happy to send you a free replacement ipod.
Hope i was of some help.....
