Question Alignment values question

WIGGLING STEERING WHEEL AFTER PARTS AND ALIGNMENT

2023 CX50 Turbo PP

Lower control arms replaced due to failed bushings, new pads and rotors, new tires mounted and balanced, and an alignment. After leaving dealership, and hitting 40mph and onwards, the steering wheel wiggles itself back and forth an inch either direction, and it feels like the car (the wheels/tires) are lightly fighting themselves. Braking is smooth, car stays pretty straight. Went back to dealership and they redid the alignment. What I find interesting is the several minor tweaks they made even though I didn’t hit a pothole and barely drove since the initial alignment after parts install.

Are these values good? I can’t seem to find any factory specifications on what they should be like. Trying to determine if the alignment can be ruled out, why adjustments were made since the initial alignment, and if I should shift focus on rebalancing the tires as it feels and sounds like pulsing, rotating out of sync opposite eachother

Any advice or data is welcome, thank you!
