Default New Fairings, now wobble in right turn

Hey everyone-
I am newer to riding, and I searched the forums first but couldn't find an answer so please be patient with me.

I spent the last 2 days changing out fairings. Still OEM, but after numerous little problems took her out on a short ride to find that in right corners/turns she has developed a wobble.

Last rode her 2 days ago, no wobble at all. These are the exact same fairings that were removed, just a new color. Any thoughts on what could be causing this.. It almost seems like there could be rubbing but when I stop I cannot see any areas where anything has rubbed.

I would appreciate any help you can offer! Thank you

Bike is 2006 CBR600RR. Let me know if you need any other info on it.

check the front rims if there's a dent.

Is it high speed or low speed that the wobble occurs? Is it the entire bike or just the front end?

I would guess something else happened during that time other than the fairings as they should have nothing to do with a wobble during turning, at least I can't think of any reason for it.

I would start by checking your tire pressure. If its too low, it can cause a wobble, especially if its your front tire. Check your tires to make sure you don't have any cupping on the sides. Also check your wheel alignment. If its not correct, it can cause issues while turning. Any of these can cause a wobble.

I can't see how the fairings would cause a wobble except if you did something to a different part during the install?
Check everything mentioned as well as check to see if maybe there is a tight wiring harness that could be reinstalled wrong and maybe in the way or if there is any obstruction near the forks.
