Muffler Fix - BUT a small problem

The job is done; full exhaust kit from the cat back. But I hear an ever so slight flutter from the tail pipe; not like a bad muffler though.

I decided to look under the rest of the car and noticed something dripping down from the connection from the cat pipe into the new resonator. At first I thought it was possibly the anti-sieze I put on the pipe connection, but when I felt it, it was just condensation.

I used a tie-wrap as a come-along when hooking up the resonator's second rubber hanger. When I cut off the tie-wrap, the resonator centered itself between the 2 hangers.

But I may have tightened up this one clamp before I cut off the tie-wrap. Could this be the problem with the condensation leak, and thus the very slight flutter from the tail pipe?

If so, what do I do? Would loosening and re-tightening this one clamp resolve it? Or?
