I have tightened the lock ring as far as I can. Its a shimano freehub body and a sram cassette.
Why is my cassette doing this

Missing a spacer or the lockring isn’t tight enough. 40Nm.
It’s just the pawls there’s a gap between engagement points. Creates a lag.
Looks like it needs a thin spacer inboard.
Thunk you may need a spacer behind cassete
SRAM/Shimano usually don’t do mix ’n match. Need to change one or the other.
Latex gloves dirt finger.
Coke can shim time. Seriously, I have the same problem and I was able to resolve by making a couple spacers out of aluminum can material. You cannot buy these online as the minimum thickness is 1mm and you need way less than that.
Something is mismatched. Those individual chainrings should not be moving independently. If it were me I’d buy myself a gift of new cassette and chain!
This video is indirectly showing exactly why I switched to waxed chains lol
Need more information is that a road wheel hub? is the SRAM cassette a road or mountain bike cassette. imIf you have a road wheel hub and trying to put a mountain bike cassette on it, then you need a 1.85mm spacer behind the cassette.
Once fixed, please give your drive train a decent clean and relube 😂
Lockring not tight enough, or there’s a missing spacer ooor If You are out of luck: the hub body, cassete or both are beyond any repair
Spacer when there are loose cogs going back and forth away from the spokes, but the back and forth here makes me think the free hub spines may be damaged. Take off the cassette and see how they look.
