I’ve tightened the mount behind the caliper. Though I didnt measure the torque, Im pretty sure its over 5nm and Im afraid of going further because I have a carbon fork.
It seems to be related with cable housing length but Im pretty sure there is a more permanent solution to this. While my rear caliper also does the same but doesnt cause much issue. What you guys think Im missing?

I also have to add, the tilting issue causes the caliper to misalign and rub the rims
Try tightening the caliper bolt a little bit (the one on the fork)
Why does your cable housing look like a crumpled piece of a paper straw?
Is your friction washer present? I would say tighten it more if it is. Also you should move your brake pad to center of the braking surface. It’s a little low.
Sometimes there’s a small Allen key bolt directly under the fork bolt. Tightens into the fork bolt keeping the assembly still during operation. Could be wrong but that’s how my similar style break works
There is a balancing screw on one side. It’s a small hex 1.5mm I think. Get the brake fairly centred with the mounting bolt at the rear the. Use the balance screw to fine tune so it’s even both sides and pads hit rim together. You’ll know when that is as the feel is a positive ‘thunk’ when pads hit evenly.
