Skin-on-Frame: how secure must masik be?

I've just completed installing my Deck beams including masic and knee brace. The beams all seem good and secure after pegging in place. If I try twisting them it is pretty dificult. The masik, on the other hand can be twisted a bit. After lashing all beams into place they are even more secure but the masik still moves a bit. I am not sure if this is normal. Since it is a longer board and is not straight one can get more torque when twisting it. The knee brace, on the other hand, is nice and sturdy. I'm wondering if I should redo the masik or continue on. Any comments would be appreciated.
