C6 Transmission Filter Question

I'm installing a new transmission filter in my C6 transmission and I noticed my pickup tube fit is very loose. It barely and I mean barely hangs on as I fit the pan up. Is this OK? When I removed the pickup tube from the old filter it was super snug.

Glad I asked and didn't fill her up. It would've been like having a hole in your straw. Thanks for the quick responses!!!
