Badge on steering wheel causing rattle

I've had this rattle on the driver side for some time now, especially when going over less than fresh, perfectly paved, roads. The sound goes away when I put a finger on the Acura badge located center steering wheel.

Any ideas on how to tighten it or fix it? I don't even know how the badge is attached... seems to skinny for screws. and it's an airbag... and costs $600 to buy a new one, which is probably a little outlandish for fixing a rattle.

Pretty sure that's all sonically or thermally welded together (badge to cover and cover in assembly).

Maybe I should just try tightening the module then...

Shrapnel from the Takata airbag rattling around in there?
