She had a problem setting the bike up on uneven ground the pore bike dumped often, and claim it was right but a slight breeze proved her wrong.
I found a line level and tied it level when it was on the kickstand and level ground. I told her when standing on the kickstand side the bubble should be cntr or farther away from her. We will see how this works for her now.
Now when I tested the brake calipers to see if they cleared the line level, I noticed my wheel would shift (flex) 3-4mm to one side and never thought that could happen; I'm aware that the calipers can be centred, and thought if they were off cntr the calpers would absorb it, and not move the wheel; my cone nuts on the bearings are set with no play in the bearings; So all the flex goes in the triangle ; warped rims watch out.

You’re suggesting that a bicycle should be perfectly upright when a kickstand is in use? And then you wonder why it falls over easily?
I have no idea what you are saying, but it’s a bit weird to make a post telling the internet how right you were in an argument, if that’s what’s going on
Some people like a kickstand so they can use it while carrying stuff on the rack, btw, like touring situations
I don’t understand the picture or the text wall under it. None of it makes sense to me.
OP has 99 problems, and a kickstand isn’t one.
