Why is my center stand suddenly so loose on the raised position?

Went for a big ride today and nearing home I heard a crazy banging noise on take off. Was scared I torched my motor as it sounded like rod knock. Upon returning home I found what seems to be an unusual amount of play in my center stand. I remember it being more stable than this... I believe it is banging against something and making a loud noise. I can't find any loose bolts on it.

Another question I had is if this bracket on the right side should be this loose that one of the side stand springs is attached to? I've never really grabbed it for so it's hard to diagnose if it's a problem or not.

Any ideas?

thanks everyone!! Looks like he was right, I seem to have lost the rubber stopper thing. Here is what my stand looks like right now.

springs 10 and 11 are indeed there and not broken.

Oh yeah! Stopper gonzo. Maybe a rubber with double sticky tape fro Home Depot/Lowes/Ace might work part time while ordering a new one?
