That is completely possible, my friend.
These gimbals are so finely tuned, and TOUCHY, I've gotten that from my aftermarket gimbal, because wires were too stiff, I had to remove them, and replace with SILICONE wire, SUPER soft wire, problem solved. But if I were you, that would be my first guess, and would replace with OEM, aftermarket is never good in when replacing IMPORTANT functions, landing gear or things of that nature, sure! But unfortunately more times than not, you end up with crap like that! The time lost, cost more than the few extra squid! Glad you noticed the problem, you could have chased that for a long time!
Wish you the best, and please keep us updated! Always love a SUCCESS STORY!
Best of luck my friend

Take care, Fly safe!
