Not exactly. Side movement of the bucket itself on the loader should not be a problem because of the tight fit of the top edge of the QA mount. I am concerned about how the small bottom pins fit into the relatively large rectangular pin holes on the bucket. Take a look at this picture first:
This "bottom & pins" arrangement on this adapter is essentially the same as the "bottom & pins" arrangement on my loader with 33 inch on center pin spacing and pins that are maybe 1 inch wide by 3/4 inch thick and only tapered slightly at the tip. Now take a look at this grapple picture again:
The quick attach mount on this grapple is like the one on a new bucket I am considering. The holes that match-up at 33" on center are the larger outer holes. Those holes are 5 inches wide by 1-1/2 inches front to back with my 1 inch by 3/4 inch pins falling about in the center (laterally) of those big ugly holes. There is no way this particular bucket is going to be held tightly at the bottom without some sort of spacer or surgery.
And so I ask: Is that kind of "mismatch" normal or not? Does it matter or not?

p.s., By comparison, my current QA bucket's mount looks a lot like this set of add-on QA brackets:
Note the single set of smaller holes that approximately match my loader's pins in size. -d
