They used a castle nut and cotter on the important joint. That loose nut is obviously not important at all. (jk)
Besides, that weak metal bracket just holds the coffee pot in the galley, so it’s not that important. (jk2)

Stainless steel makes for terrible fasteners.

All three of the visible bolts are loose. The hidden fourth bolt probably is too.

The loose bolt is not the one with the castellated nut. It appears to be the bottom one on the right side bracket.

In the automotive industry they don’t like to admit when bolts were not tightened properly at the factory. So they just come up with some BS about needing to use locktite on them.
I would not be surprised if that is what happens here. Even though you can bet those bolts were never tightened at the factory. They will most likely never admit that.
