Rigid LATCH movement (Nuna Pipa)

I bought a Nuna Pipa for our upcoming baby and I'm struggling with the installation in our 12' Odyssey. I was planning to instal it in the middle row center seat but failed to realize that I wouldn't be able to use the stability leg in that position due to the spare tire placement. No big deal. Tried moving it to a bucket seat and am having no luck.

Installed with LATCH it is moving across the LATCH bars from side to side. Is that normal? Its less than an inch, but pretty close to an inch. And where its sitting its placement is strange. The base makes no contact with my seat back? I then attempted a seat belt install but with that I cannot get a proper recline. I'm really struggling at this point to keep this $300 seat. I may need to see if it can be returned for something else. Obviously, I can instal center w/o the stability leg, but for the price I would prefer to have the option.

The sliding is normal, mine does the same thing. With the rigid LATCH, it's secure. I love the seat, but I hesitate to recommend it to people are not car seat savvy (I'm not saying that you're not) because of how different the seat is.

Thank you! I personally do not have any experience with Rigid LATCH. We only see the typical lower cost seats at our fitting stations. And of course I waited until my due date to even buy a seat. I'll keep it outboard then and get everyone else arranged.
