Weird annoying squeaking from tail light...

I just noticed a weird/annoying squeaking coming from my right tail light when i play my subs while i stand behind my car...
if i push on the body of the car above the light it makes the annoying as hell sound again.
well i think it's coming in contact w/ the surroundings of the light...but i have no idea how to get rid of this damn noise!
Has anyone had a similar problem?

(It's almost as annoying as scratching a chalk board w/ your nails...)

i tightened the screws and nothing changed...
the part of the taillight that makes the noise is this big grey plastic piece behind the light.
I don't know what to do and it's starting to **** me off cuz my left taillight is fine.....
thanks

not the part that touches the screw...that would be the metal part of the car...the plastic piece is a casing around the back of the light...theres even a part of it that sticks out as a wall of a plug that goes into the back to kind of protect it...im trying to find some pictures of the back of the light but i cant find any
