Is it on carpet or a hard surface? Wood flooring? You may have to purchase a couple shims from a hardware store. Water always levels itself out -- so you will have to level the aquarium and stand that it is occupying. An aquarium that isn't perfectly level is more likely to crack.

Had a similar issue. All I did was, loosen a little bit then re-tightened the bolts and make sure that the pieces are all lined up together.
Not sure if I explain it clearly.
Hope you find your way to fix it.

Yeah I went back through and check that they're all locked, it's just so strange, I'm weary of loosening and re-tightening it.

I hear you how odd is this stand. It is well built , it is just how the bars and screws are put together.
Took me at first then my wife a while to finally fixed it.
