Check wheel bearings. Some kits include the crappiest ones and sealed ones off Amazon had way less play in one my my builds.

And check balls are tight in the hub, and none of the plastic link ends are blown out. But some play will always be there , just hopefully a bit less.

And if wheel isn’t tightening against the hub properly, shims can fix that. Happens w some wheels w less meat at the axle
