Your name is amazing.
Tighten the bottom thing of the headset, and then tighten the top one. Did you cut the bars down? On my old rup I cut the bars unevenly and they wobbled because of that.

No i did not cut the bars The both top and bottom headset things are tight. im just gonna get a new headset. Oh and I know my name is amazing im addicted to fish tacos and mtn dew I have to have mtn dew and fish tacos at least once a week.
You can get the wobble out, it is just a wee bit of work since you have to really take your time on getting the Locknuts on the Headset adjusted/tight.
The main problem is that the bottom locknut is so thin so there is no way to get to it using normal wrenches, you have to remove the Top one then tighten the bottom one, replace top Locknut and then tighten that one down without moving the bottom one at the same time.
Put your bars on and make sure they are all the way down, making contact with the Top Locknut- this prevents the top locknut from loosening up.

but as mentioned a Threadless headset makes it even easier
