Clutch bleeder moves around and can't get it loose

96 Ford ranger 2.3 5 sp. What the heck? The bleeder screw is moving around while I'm trying to loosen it. Why? Is the pipe that it's attached to not attached to the slave anymore?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Something might have broken. Look at what holds it in place. Might have to grab the tube with some pliers. Be careful, don't put too much stress on the junction where the seal is. Good luck.
