Old Hopkins Press question about parts and assembly...

I recently purchased a 4/4/ Hopkins Slider to have as an extra shop backup press but it came disassembled. I put the press together how I figured it went together, however it still felt like the carousels themselves were slightly insecure or were deflecting quite a bit (maybe this is an element of the tapered base design, or the press itself, but feels a bit more deflective than I would expect..)

I linked 3 photos of the spare parts I was given, and two photos of where I assumed the spare washers could go. I really couldn't tell a difference in the feeling wether they were put on top of the carousel, or if they went under the carousels (both the arm carousel and the print head carousels)

I could also just guess maybe this press deflects like a mofo, either way, I contacted Riley Hopkins, Hopkins INTL, and neither could respond .. oh well, time to ask some people who might actually be able to help.

Thanks!
