In the short term that could be corrected by prefixing M425 X0.05 Y0.1 F1 S0 in your gcode (or something like that, determined with testing to verify roundness). Long term you’ll need to a) get support to replace your modules or b) follow sdj’s guide on opening up and tightening the roller tensioning mechanism: Excessive play in x-axis linear module bracket - #9 by sdj544
