Hello Kris

K| Is there supposed to be a securing bracket for these taps to

Some sinks are made from absurdly thin stainless and this can flex an
awful lot with the heavier taps. Sometimes it can be remedied by
cutting a piece of metal to go underneath and drilling/cutting out
holes for the pipes - acting like a giant washer.
