perfectly normal for the timber to move about slightly as it is settles in its new climate.
We have this problem with some of our fine cabinet making, all spot on, then hey presto, it moves slightly when sent
to a new environment.
I think this happens with many different timber products.
An easy fix though as mentioned by others.
