Take the wheel and get a local bike shop to tighten the lock ring.
If that doesn’t work ask them if they have a cassette spacer spare

It is a sprocket that isn’t solid mounted to the cassette. you can try tight the screw sprocket that holds the cassette to the wheel a bit more, but I wouldn’t overthink this.
It is fine.

Is the lock ring also loose or just the smallest cogs? If the lock ring is firmly tightened down then you need a spacer beneath it to remove the play.
Echoing others on here, drop by your LBS. It’s a quick and easy fix. Shouldn’t cost much at all. Good luck !

Is the smallest sprocket loose? Is yes, and the lock ring is right, you need a spacer behind the cassette.
If no, it is probably misaligned and it can prevent the rest of the cassette from tightening. It needs to be clocked correctly.

Check to be sure the smallest cog is set in the correct splines. Probably not the issue, but it’s an easy check.

Missing the thin spacer all the way behind the cassette. Installed on the free hub before installing the cassette

Either the smallest cog isn’t clocked correctly and isn’t compressing the rest of the cassette, or you need a spacer behind the cassette.
