As midlife stated, deck issues would more than likely cause stanchions to be "loose". However, you weren't very specific as to whether the entire stanchion had excessive movement, or only the vertical tube fit loosely onto the base plate.
If the latter, perhaps individual stanchion assembly repair, or replacement is all that's needed. But to my logic, a base plate which moves against the FRP deck, suggests the fasteners have lost their bite - a common symptom of core problems.
