Thanks for the link.

Because I don't use paniers and prefer to keep my bag as low to the ground as possible.

Not sure how that is set up, but if any of them are loose you could try carefully tightening them.) Also, it looks like your handlepost is of the height adjustable type, check that the clamp for that is tightly closed, too.
Thank for the tip. The clamp is as tight as could be, as is the stem. I'll have to live with it. No biggie.
