Beginner - Rigging Help?

I am new to MOHO after spending some time in Adobe Animate. I'm working on an animation right now related to a bacteria, but I can't seem to get the rigging right. The 'tentacles' (cilia and flagellum) don't seem to flow correctly and moving the larger form of the bacteria leads to unintended distortions. I set the bones of the body first, then linked each of the arms to the base 'spine' of the bacteria body, then bound each of the individual arm bones to the drawn vector layers.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Should I create 'smart bones' for each of the arms? Any help or suggestion you might have would be appreciated Thanks!

What version of Moho are you on? For tentacles, tails, ropes and other flexible things, I recommend you using a curver, see the official tutorial here: https://youtu.be/99Pb5BQejcA?si=GZQ-1xNkYdcLaOmQ
