It's generally just floating, with whatever's holding onto the wire (typically a ziptie) providing the tiny amount of force needed to keep the encoder from spinning with the axle.
The idea behind this is to not mechanically over-constrain the encoder, as rigidly mounting the encoder as well as pressing its shaft into the axle would do.
