It's probably happening because those aftermarket springs are slightly shorter than standard springs. Often, lift springs are a little bit shorter when out of the vehicle due to design parameters, and this will mean they can go a little bit loose on full flex, which will cause them to move around a bit.

Bit hard to see, but it does look that the new springs are slightly shorter.
