There is the main strut rod center bolt under the housing.
Sounds like it is loose. It is normally the one that gets loose not the three strut top bolts

Yes with the car on the ground take the three housing bolts off. then you can tighten the center one. Don't go too tight or you can strip it. you might need a allan wrench with a through socket if the strut rod spins when tightening. or a low power impact.
think it is only like 20 lbs torque though.
