When the nut is tightened, the compression ring that sits above the ferrule should push down and press down onto the ferrule, thereby compressing around the CO2 tubing, cinching it down for a tight fit. It shouldn’t be loose at all.

The CO2 tubing should go through the nut -> compression ring -> ferrule -> metering valve.
