Maybe you're looking at the wrong thing.
With the wheels on the ground, get a friend to grab the top of a
front tire while you lay on the ground and look at the gap with the
flashlight. While she pushes/pulls on the top of the tire, watch the
movement in the gap.
You could even try a feeler gauge in there while she pulls.
If it's too much, loosen the right clamp bolt. tighten the right
axial bolt a quarter turn, and retighten the right clamp bolt. Then
check the play again.
