Default tank goes a bit left/right, normal? (dump question)

I removed the petroltank today and when I put on again I didn't get the tank totally tight. (I don't know if it were)
Is it normal when the tank goes a litte to de left and right?
the two bolts are tight and with the rubbers and rings.

(I have got my licence 2 weeks so sorry for the newbie question.)

thank you.

A common occurrence. Your bodywork will help keep the tank in place. You can also buy rubber fuel hose, split it, and fit it between your tank and your frame. I did this on mine and it worked beautifully.

Yea its normal. The rubber fuel hose idea works. Just cut two, 2 inch pieces then slice it down the middle. Slide them on the outer edges of the tank and the tank will rest on those instead of your frame.

I removed my tank to find thick double sided sticky tape. The upfacing side hasnt had the covering layer removed. Works fine.

move your tank side to side and you should be able to see where it strikes the frame. at that point, put on your rubber.
