After nearly 20 years mine was so worn and floppy that that it would conform to most any surface. Rebuilt it a few weeks ago and it's a bit better but the locking tab on the arm and corresponding slot on the frame are still quite worn so there is a couple inches slop fore/aft (at the ground) even with the lock engaged. I've rocked it around very aggressively and it's secure and strong.
A close inspection of the position/condition/relationship of the locking elements may reveal that the tab is welded slightly off axis and some grinding on the slot may correct it. Maybe try swapping for a different arm.
Personally, I'd leave it alone unless the bike is unstable.
careful Chief, they used to say the same thing about Japanese cars and motorcycles and they have damn near put the US auto industry out of business and are winning NASCAR, and keep giving Harley a run for the money
And mine always sat absolutely flat; even the jiffy extension is flat on the ground. Go figure
Edited to add: I'm not kidding, it's flat. The marks in the concrete you see in the first image was from my '03 Wide Glide when I first got her; that Jiffy was jacked up and never sat level on the ground. I replaced it, and it sat nice and flat after that.
Another angle on the '13; it really is flat on the ground
