Loose Powertap Freehub Body

The freehub body on my Powertap Pro+ has become very loose. i.e. take out the skewers and the freehub comes away complete with cassette and a cap (cassette is locked on the freehub but whole thing comes away). I can't remember it been like this when I originally put the cassette on.

Does something need to be tightened? Is something broken? Or do I just put it back together and rely on the compression from the skewer/frame holding everything in place?

    If its a Pro+ with tool-free freehub removal then I think this is normal. I have one and got a surprise when it first happened and the whole freehub assembly does pop off a little too easy for my liking, but I don't think there are any issues once the hub is clamped in the dropout.
    More problems but still living....

    It's normal. Just push it back on.

    Got the scare of my life when I opened my bike box while traveling and the whole thing had come apart! Until I found out it's normal.

    Thanks for the replies. It scared me a little when I took the skewers out and the freehub/cassette just fell off. As suggested put it back together and it's been fine since.
