They're meant to be loose and are designed to let water drain out while stopping fumes etc going up and into the air vents. I removed mine with a long thin rod (could use wire coat hanger) and they were completely clogged up. Once they're clean, you can then refit them and every now and then, give the bottom of the drainage plug a squeeze, and it will let out dirt leaves etc.
Top tip. Many thanks for posting that. I couldn't believe how much water had collected in the scuttle area. 👍
