Spyderco Dyad blade play

I just recently acquired a Spyderco Dyad C44GP&SGY (sprint run), and in my zeal to convert it for left-handed use, I didn't make note of any possible side-to-side blade play before dis-assembly. I have come here to ask if any other Dyad owners could comment as to how much (if any) side-to-side blade play they notice in theirs. I notice a bit on both blades. I also see a very slight gap between the liners and the lock bars near the pivots of the blades. I suspect that some side-to-side blade play may be inevitable because of the construction of the knife.

Additionally, the plain-edge blade does seem to be fairly off-center; should I maybe try swapping bushings around or something else to try to rectify this and/or the blade play issue? (would it even make a difference?)
