Fuji hotshoes have had some reported issues with looseness. This means sometimes the mounting screws get a little loose and the shoe gets loose, but the loose screws reduce shoe tolerances and make the shoe a tight fit for some flashes.

Is your hotshoe tight?

If it isn't tight, and you want to tighten it, sorry I don't have any suggestions about this. There have been a couple threads about this in this forum in the past 6 months or so.

PS I guess some flashes might have mounts that are secured with screws, and maybe these can get loose too, with the same consequences.

Good luck!

Thank you Tom! Yep,its tight. I push the lever in while removing the flash but it still requires much work. I will check the screws on the hot shoe

Thank you

Rick
