Some pillars are prone to being bent outwards causing a lot of end play - the usual culprits are the lower E/B key pillar and the RH ring key pillars. That usually happens when the anchoring screw has become loose and can very often be rectified by tightening up the screws which will pull the pillars back in again.
If there's still something of a gap, then a gentle tap with a hide, wooden or plastic mallet can straighten them, but tap them back with several small taps rather than one hefty whack as that can cause damage to the joint or the pillar whichever gives first. And make sure the anchor screw is tight beforehand and also afterwards.
