My first thought is "what make of bipod is it..."
Shouldn't make a difference, but if its a real cheapie then maybe!

Are the two lugs engaged in the holes in the stud?

You need a rubber spacer between the stock & the bipod, the two lug arms are pulling back through the base plate hole too far allowing it to pull/slip off centre.

Try the Harris HB7A spacer.

the bipod i got is a webley not chap realy and it has rubbers between it and the stock.The bipod i had before was a zeadio and i put rubbers on that but the bolt still went askew

that looks like the problem i just tried packing the bipod off the stock a bit and it straightens it up.looks like its the taper on the stock

Yep, I have the same problem with my HW60 HMR, I use the Harris No7 spacer and it works a dream, Tapers from about 1mm to 5mm with a pad each side while down the middle it's thin to allow it to bend to the curve of the stock.
