Your statement of "that's how loose it was after I hit reverse" strongly suggests that it wasn't loose before you hit reverse.
The above would indicate the the propeller when put into reverse pulled the propeller shaft out of the lower unit somewhat to create that space!
Check that propshaft for excessive play.
