HORRIBLE 3rd brake light rattle ever since I got tint done... HELP

Well, I just got tint done on my car, and ever since I had it done the 3rd brake light has been rattling like crazy! It's so loud and annoying and it makes my car sound like it's 15 years old.... I went back to check it out and it seemed loose so I pushed it back into place but it is still rattling around. I don't know what to do!!

I'm taking it back to the shop tomorrow, but does anyone have any suggestions until then? It's driving me crazy. Has anyone else had this problem????

tighten up the bolts under the 3rd brake light. Go in to your trunk and you'll see the 3 bolts and just tighten them up, I had the same problem
