Z Axis not moving properly

Hi guys,
Today I had to replace the X-Axis motor printed part. Putting everything back together, all parts seem ok. However, my z-axis is moving strangely. The left side won't move in time with the right side. In Settings, when moving the Z - axis to test, the right side moves either up or down, just ahead of the left side. The threaded rod on the left actually moves inwards when the right stepper is moving down. And vice-versa. Hope that makes sense. Any thoughts on how I can fix this? Video of this happening below.

Try looesninģ thè lead sçrew nut bolts
And run the z axis up to the top. So it evens up the x axis sides[youtube][youtube][/youtube][/youtube] then tighten the screws again

Thanks Joan, I think that might have solved the issue. I changed out the trapezoidal nut for a printed one, and had to leave the screws loosened a bit. When tightened the z-axis didn't want to move. Seems to be doing the trick!
