Iff it is like mine there will be a nut on the thread below (and lose from) the main part of the mirror. Tighten this nut down.

dude.......lol. DON'T take off your mirrors, there's two little plastic caps which cover where the bolt-head is, you should be able to lift them with your thumb nail- or a small screw driver if you have to. The bolt is under that, you will need an allen key......

if the whole mirror/stalk is rotating inwards then there IS a hinge bolt there that you can tighten. If its literally the mirror head itself then you can try removing the whole thing and putting the arm in a vice.
Pull gently outwards and turn the head clockwise on the mirror head and its usually enough to put pressure on the nut inside the mirror to get it to tighten a bit
