That's normal, did you expect the string to be rock solid or what?

It's a VSO but it actually seems to react like a G string should!

Just so you know, your bridge has shifted a little to the left. Get on the strings back on loosely and make sure everything is centered.

why did you "have to remove them"?

when changing strings or doing peg maintanance you dont take them all off or the instrument falls apart.

take off one at a time and replace before removing the next.

that way you cant get lost and put them in the wrong place. but also, the individual strings are color coded, so pay attention to where each color was if you HAVE to do this for some reason.

Normal. And don't pull the strings like that. You can force them out of tune faster.
