As for the play, have you ensured that the opposing bolt is snugged up to take up any slack, plus you need to ensure that the screw that attaches the mount to the tripod/pier is actually tight too .. there's a few things that can cause play... as well as the possibility of a problem with the mount itself.

Yeah I might've gone a bit over board with the grease but that's fine.
I've tightened the opposing bolts but it still moves. And I've ensured the mount is securely attached to the tripod. It's pretty obvious where the play is. I suspect it's a design flaw with the AZEQ6 or my mount is faulty. It's going for a service at Bintel in 2 weeks so I'll mention that as well.
