If it's anything like the FZS600 mirrors, then you'll find the mirror hinge is a permanently fixed rivet, rather than a nut and bolts you tighten up.
I managed to snap the rivet on mine in a recent drop. Picked up a cheap replacement off ebay, brand new apparently, but it was just a bodged up one that also had a snapped rivet and had been replaced with nut, bolt and pile of washers. It felt perfectly stiff when fitted, but week later it was flapping about like mad.
So, it sounds like yours has a snapped rivet or a bodged one with nut'n'bolt that have become loose. You could try faffing about tightening it, covering it with lock-tight etc. or it's new mirror time - £80! The cheap Chinese ones on ebay are apparently a bit naff and many don't hinge at all!
