We had this problem with our new XLP & rectified it by lowering the legs. We had to un-guy it & pulled the poles wider, thus the sides met the floor.

In other words we had made it too tall, so had to lower the tent.

Crap explanation lol, but I hope you get what I mean

Yes we get a similar problem with the Oakland and found pulling the legs further out helped. We also take the sleeping pods out too, which means there is less weight pulling on the tent when we put it up and this also helped to get the SIG flat on the floor.
