Also it appears your chains are not vertical. This may have been caused by some slippage of your large u-bolt brackets thereby causing the cams to not be centered properly & thereby causing your sway issues. I have same system with the older style large u-bolts & I have to occasionally adjust do to slight slippage. After getting your cams centered, try to get chains as close to vertical as possible by adjusting lift-up brackets. Your propane tanks may be in way & some off-centeredness is OK. Others may know how much deflection is OK.
As long as the off vertical chains do not pull the cams back there should be no problem as all the chains do is hold up the cams. This is not the case in a normal non Dual Cam hitch where they should be vertical because of chain swing back and forth when turning.
I agree that his problem is probably caused by the cams not being centered on the V of the bars and that this situation was most likely the result of the cam mounting brackets slipping on the A frame. This is a common problem with the older style Dual Cam system. Those large U bolts must be checked frequently as they seem to stretch and loosen up a bit allowing the bracket to move.
