Steering heavy on F48

Hi guys, I have changed my Xline steering for an msport. It was done by someone else who then did all the coding.
I cant help myself with the feeling that the steering is ever since heavier. I remember it as almost too light to my liking, not something I would say now.
Im wondering if the steering wheel nut has been tightened too much maybe?
Im not quite sure where to start here so was wondering if someone here might have an idea.

Then pours in new steering fluid.

There are about 1.8k comments where people praise his advice as their steering becames so easy. Anyone tried that?
Electric steering?

Try to access using a laptop/computer. Unfortunately, the mobile version doesn't allow you to see the attachments.
