Unless you have it setting direct on the ground (which I don't recommend) you will find some lateral play in the support legs. There is nothing wrong with this, you not want them so rigid there would be no movement at all.

This is because on lowering/raising, the legs shift some due to ground conditions not being perfectly level, rocks etc under the pads.
