Flywheel properly seated ??

I put my cam , and 4 degree advance key in today, and the key was a tight fit in the groove on the crank . I tapped it into place with a screwdriver handle, and installed the flywheel. I came in and ate, and checked my phone. Just by coincidence a guy on the Facebook page had just installed a key, and it sheared. Someone replied that the flywheel may not have been tight enough. I went back out, and ready tighten mine up good, but I also noticed that the starter sprag can still slide back and forth a little on the crank. Is it supposed to be able to do this?
