Question about cassette movement during wheel spinning

Hi there,
I recently replaced my old wheels with new ones (xt hubs, mavic 317 rims) and a new cassette (pg 950).
I noticed that if I turn the bike upside down and spin the rear wheel quickly, the cassette is not turning while not pedalling any more, but moves slightly eccentrically as if the freehub is not aligned with the axle perfectly.
I do not know if I made myself clear, but if you have any suggestions about this please let me know because I don't know if it is important to long term use. Could it be that I did not install the cassette properly (not tight lock ring maybe?).
Thanks in advance!

It is a common sight and is normal."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."
