Default Nose gear Flexing

I just purchased a used hobbico hobbistar 60. If flew it the other day and the nose gear flexes from side to side. I can take it off and land but it noses over because the nose gear flexes to the left and right really bad. So i purchased a new one thing that the gear was bad and the new one did the same thing. How do you all keep the nose gear from flexing. Every time I land I have a prop strike because the nose gear flexes.

This is the new gear that I purchased.

The plane is 6.5 lbs

I have been flying for a few years now but only tail draggers.
