When I tighten down the bolt, it snugs up just fine with no side to side play in the vertical bar when grabbed.

Am I an idiot? It looks simple, the bottom hook, hooks in to the only gap thats there. It doesn't look like the hook or the hole is bent. and I know the bolt isn't loosening up.
are you sure the nut isn't coming loose? a new hold down bolt/hook comes with thread lock on the threads... so that may have worn away on your bolt over the years. simple check is to get some thread lock, and reapply it. if the bar no longer comes loose, that was the problem.
