Been thru this one. It should be as tight as possible with very LITTLE play. I don't know where you are measing the play. The problem is the joints inside the elevator panel. One the mechanic tightened things up there was a decrease in what I would call "flutter". You could feel it in the yoke and espcially when cruising along in stable air.
GMAS could probably tell you the limits from the manual but I would say there was perhaps 1/16" of play at the trailing edge of the tab.
