When you removed the seat you had to remove the seat strap bracket. It is possible it was not put on correctly.
#1 Pull the bag off and check underneath to make sure the rubbers are still on.
#2 Loosen the strap bracket but don't remove.
#3 Put bag back on making sure it falls on the bottom rail in propper place.
#4 Put the pinsm, washer, rubber washer back on into locking postion.
#5 Tighten the bracket holding the strap and pin.
If you don't have the strap on the bracket you will not have to remove the bracket to remove the seat.

Are you talking about when it's idling and on the side stand?
If so.... I can't believe I'm saying this........ it's normal. My bag and muffler shake on the left side when on the side stand. But lift the bike off the stand and the shake goes away. All of my baggers have done that.
