I get about half the flex now which is about the same as another carbon bike I have around. It is a different suspension platform, less travel, and an extra small - so not really a fair comparison.
Without making major design changes, the washer or removal of 1-2mm from the end of the bolt is the easiest resolution.
If I could steady cam the video I took, I would use the seatpost of the focal point so it would be easier to discern that the movement is the triangle without drifting focus to the wheel. An old stiff carbon wheel would make the triangle flex look even worse.
Thanks for your answer, Im kind of new to this so some questions might come out wrong. Hedeli seem to be helpful when it comes to order spare parts though, Im thinking if a bolt comes loose in about a year or so, one would like a spare or be able to find one.
