It appears the diameter of the stem is out of spec as all I see of movement 
in the video is the stem itself wiggling inside the steering tube. Do 
measure the diameters of the outer stem and inside the steerer, and in 
multiple places around the circles. Something is out of spec as that's a 
whole lotta wiggle, not good. Is that the Nitto or the JIm Faceplater ?  If 
you don't have a caliper for measuring do you at least have a another stem 
to insert ? If not, contact Riv. Frankly that ought to have been the first 
place to go.
