Motor Test and Wobbling while hovering

I’ve been dealing with some weird wobbling while flying, almost like a circular kind of wobble. It mostly occurs when it is hovering, and I think this might be why. Here’s a video of what happens during a motor test:

For some reason, if you can’t see the video, basically when I click “test all motors” instead of starting all of the motors at the exact same time, it spins them in a very fast sequence going from motors 1,4,2,3. I don’t remember exactly how it is supposed to look, but is this an issue? If so, how do you fix it?

If this isnt the issue, what steps could I take to reduce the wobbling?

Motor test is supposed to go clockwise around the copter.

Use the methodic configurator, do not skip steps and fill out all reason changed fields.

If you have a log from the wobble flight - we can assist more. Most of the time a circular wobble/porpoising is due to compass interference or untuned PIDs.
