That's normal, the springbars can move a little bit left or right. You can literally do that with a toothpick. They shouldn't be sticking out from the holes though.
16710 is a fantastic reference and it's worth every penny. Get the best one you can afford. Ideally truly unpolished and at least with papers. You're gonna love it :)
