is one piston sticky or what

Hello, today i was looking at my bike and i saw on the rear brake (Shimano Deore M615) that one piston was wayyy further out than the other, i took out the pads and reset the pistons, put back the pads and just hit the brakes while riding and when i came back i saw that one piston was probably slower than the other so i just held the faster one down and tried to even them out and this is the result does it look like i did a good job?

I tried showing in the videos if the disc was bending beacuse of one piston moving

Hello, i have a problem here with the spokes on the rear rim, i was riding Saturday (Todays Wednesday) and the saturday i was riding an enduro trail on my new second hand bike Scott Voltage fr720 and when coming home from the trail i was hearing a metal knocking sound at first i didnt think much of it, when i came home i flipped the bike upside down and saw that one spoke has fully unscrewed, i took off the rim from the bike the tyre and tube and i lifted the rim tape off with a screwdriver (its not a tubeless setup) and i started shaking the rim for a while until the spoke nipple finally came out from the rim , i screwed it back on and some od the spokes were loose and i tightened them back on there were 2-3 maybe 4 spokes that were loose and NOTE that i bought the bike with BENT RIMS . Today i was riding it around the city i went to my school and i heard the same sound , i saw that probs the same spoke has unscrewed and the same 2-3 SPOKES WERE LOOSE, i dont know if i should buy some blue loctite and apply it to the spoke threads and i asked the previous owner about it and he told me the same situation happened to him once in 2months, i will put down a pic of the spoke.
