Default loose brake adjusting shafts

The brake adjusting shafts that attach to the brake shoes are real loose in the backing plate sockets. Is this normal. I can not imagine that these sockets get much wear as these shafts only move when adjusting the brakes.
Should I try to shim these sockets so the shafts fit better or is this supposed to be a real loose fit so the brake shoes floats a bit. Any help appreciated.
Thanks, Dick
