Default Rattle in steering wheel?

Hello!
So I have been chasing this rattle for quite some time now but I have no idea what it could be. When I'm driving, it sounds like something plastic is rattling against the steering column. My initial assumption was a connector was hanging and sitting against the column and just vibrating against it. I took it off and found nothing at all. Anyone have any ideas?? Thanks in advance!

Kyle

P.S. The car is a 2000 GS400

Video won't pick it up and if I had a picture of the issue I could solve it But it sounds EXACTLY like a little plastic piece that just broke off haha!

I drove for a while with no steering column and it went away, but I'm worried because the issue is intermittent it just isn't showing itself.

I went through the housing checking for bent or useless pieces and clipping them off. I will wait till tomorrow to see what happens. Thanks for the replies!
