Loose nails on balcony joist brackets

Hello, I'm currently redoing my balcony and while I was pulling up the old decking I've found that the joist brackets are fairly warped and have loose nails. The balcony itself is front supported and the joists still seem to be sitting quite squarely in against the wall. Wondering if just bashing in the loose ones will be fine or if this could indicate bigger problems down the line and I should consider adding some screws or something?

 

I'm very much an amateur at building so any other advice I may not be considering would be very much appreciated.

Thank you!
