A little "loose" is fine. As long as it's not missing at all, I wouldn't concern myself about it.

plugs blowing has nothing to do with the CoPs, it's the heads and the spark plugs that are damaged.

Loose CoPs where they bolt on is normal, and prefered. I over tightened one of mine and now it's rusted in, I gotta easy out it next time I change plugs.
