Yeah, they're supposed to move.
They're not a strut brace as people imagine them to be

It limits the fore-aft movement of the motor under high load
The motor support is mounted on rubber bushings and has a normal 1-2cm free play "wobble" fore-aft Of course, huge wobble, cracked / dried rubber bushes, and any obvious knocking noise would mean that you need to replace the rubber bushes - but they are easy to replace.
