I’ve been trying to get at the root cause of air in my cooling / power steering loop and while replacing all of the hoses I came across the transmission cooling hard line is loose and wiggly and I’m not sure if this is normal and could possible my the true culprit. Check the video and let me know what you think!

I would think it should not turn so easy, you need to figure out where it goes and what it is connected to, the vid does not give much to go on.
See attached from TM. It is part of the transmission cooling loop. M1165A1 SN 258XXX

The transmission cooling system has nothing to do with the power steering/brakes.
That fitting seals on an O ring so movement might be completely normal.

The cooling loop goes to the oil cooling stack. The power steering gear , break booster, fan clutch, ps reservoir all loop to the cooling stack. There are 4 total connections to the cooler. I’m not sure if fluid flows freely to the other part of the cooling loop for transmission/transfer case and rear diff.

They are completely different loops, the trans/transfer and diff has it's own loop and cooler.

That hardline is held in via a clip and the fitting prevents leaking, it’s completely normal…
