Take your time.
Is there a difference between one side of the hub and the other side?
Google image a photo of the hub see can you spot anything.
Is it the same installation as the rear?
See if something is different.
When I take out the wheel only the end caps are the only thing with play on it(end caps without pre load). When the wheel is in place the movement is coming from the the axle not pulling the bearings tight enough (i think).
No in front I have sealed bearings and in the back cup and come.
I have put spacers on different places:
When between inside fork and the end caps play seams a little bit less but still existing, when put on the thru-axle before installing (between the inbus hole and left outside fork) they play remains the same.
One other thing every time the front wheel is put back in the bike the play is gone till I ride it and after the ride one's the play is back the axle is still tight.
The bike is from 2020 the wheels are a probably 1 or 2 year's older but both boost.
The play didn't exist for the first 1000 km but became more and more especially after a really heavy trail in italy.
