What frame is that?
I’m assuming you undid the stem clamp BEFORE tightening the top cap bolt?
If so and its still wobbly, you might need an extra headset spacer, any bike shop should have a spare one for a few pennies.
Loosen the stem, adjust the headset with the top cap, tighten the stem.
Your description of the top cap sounds like you already f*cked it’s thread.
had the same problem, if tightening doesn’t help, get new bearings, solved mine
put spacer on top of the stem and then tigthen thd compression bolt.The issue might be the compression bolt cant compress the bearings because of the fork length
First you tighten the big vertical bolt and then you tighten the 2 horizontal ones. The big vertical bolt serves as a way to pull the stem down and remove any tiny gaps
