Unfortunately not. the crankset/BB is incorrectly installed making all chainrings move left/right, in reference to the frame, especially under load.
What I meant by the chain moving by 4mm, is that it moves sideways on the chainring (because the chainring moves/wobbles sideways). Sorry for the confusion.
But as someone pointed out, it is likely to be the BB or the crankshaft as both chainrings are moving side to side at the same time.

Nothing a mechanic can do about it.
The crossed cables is just incompetence.
