Move than 1 inch side to side movement with Chicco Nextfit

We cannot seem to get our RF middle seat Chicco Nextfit to not move less than an inch side to side at the back of the catseat. Using LATCH, at the belt path there is no movement, but there is 1 to 3 inches of movement at the back of the carseat (closest to the front seat of the car). We have the Graco Headwise next to the seat (at a window).

What should we do to reduce this lateral movement at the back of the carseat?

You only check for movement at the belt path, so if there is no movement there it is snug enough. It is common for a rear facing seat to have movement at the top/back of the seat.

Does you car allow LATCH install in the center? Not all do, just wanted to double check.

You do want to be sure the Nextfit and Headwise are installed properly independently of each other so if one is removed, the installation of the remaining one is just the same as if the other isn't there.
