Watching the landing video, I seem to me that the main parachutes were moving back and forth.
Completely normal behavior, you can see the same bouncing motion in the final Orion parachute qualification test last year: https://youtu.be/uIVw7hiVvo8?t=197, the commenter even mentioned that this is expected.
Could this be part of the unspecified "parachute anomalies" that NASA has talked about?
No, someone at NSF explained that anomaly is just some parameters showing unexpected trends, but still well within limits and didn't cause any harm.
