Default Excess Front Wheel Side-Play 2018 GP300

My forks seem to be having excess clearance of approx 1-2 mm between the fork lugs & the wheel spacers giving the impression that the front wheel bearings are worn, when the bearings are actually OK.

This is after following the routine procedure of reinstalling the front wheel into the KYB forks by torquing the axle nut with the opposite brake side fork axle clamps tightened, followed by tightening the brake side clamps, loosening opposite side clamps & bouncing the forks with brake on to true the wheel, then re-tightening the opposite brake side clamps.

Sure I can re-tighten the axle nut to close the clearance between the wheel spacers but then this may promote fork binding.
Anybody else notice this?
Maybe I need wider wheel spacers.
