Hello, I installed two ceiling fan brackets that have the slide-to-size feature to span two joists. I noticed both of them have some flex when pushing down, even though they are all screwed in. The flex seems to be coming from the side that allows it to slide. Should I try again, or is this normal?

Update After taking a tape measure to it, based on suspicion, the joists are about 26" on center, which is why the bracket was wobbly. I sistered in some wood blocks to close the gap a little and make it so the brackets don't need to stretch as far, and it has reduced the wobble.
