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.
Or the material that the bases were bedded in, simply lost there bond. The bedding material goes a long way into making the connection to the deck.
