I have the exact same pair but have not had this problem.

Mine have a problem with the right hand eye lens (diopter control) being very loose. I can move it up and down and left and right. It changes the collimation if I bump it and the eye lens ends up on the wrong angle to the rest of the optics, makes me go cross eyed. As long as I make sure it's in a certain position (which I have since worked out) all is OK. I'm still happy with them, they are great for the money.

Your problem sounds like something as simple as a fastener somewhere in the brace. Have a close look around and see what you can find, or call AOE....
I have the 20 x 80LW's and they have the same problem as your binos. AOE exchanged them but the replacement binoculars have the same problem as well so I don't use them. The optics are good but the focus mechanism lets them down.
