the idea of the top cap is that you do it up in order to compress the whole headset system. You don't need someone to squash it down.
are you sure it's the headset rattling?
squeeze front brake, push bike forward onto the front wheel, if the headset is loose you'll feel it clunk back and forward as you lift the rear wheel up and off the ground.
