Loose fluid lines

Was upgrading to monoballs last night and found out I need a bigger ball joint separator. While waiting for the tool to arrive, I was checking things out and came across what appears to be loose fluid lines that I cannot find the name for (two combined aluminum pipes about 1 cm in diameter each) that run to/from the coolers that sit in the lower right and left of the front facia. In order to see if these are loose, you'd have to remove the black plastic shielding between the bumper cover and the metal stiffening plate. The lines sit on top of square aluminum tubing. I doubt anyone wants to do this to check, but I am wondering if anyone who has had theirs off can recall if the pipes are normally a little loose or if they should be tight. I imagine they shouldn't wiggle with my hands. Thoughts? Thanks!

Those tubes are not held by screws but just plastic rivets which can move a bit in their holes so it's normal.
