I have an Aero Precision lower I used for a pistol build, and with two different uppers it has side to side wiggle at the pivot pin.
One upper is a DD Mk18, and the other a BCM, but both have the same loose fitment.  Is there any way to remedy this?
It doesn't really seem to affect anything, but if there's an easy way to fix it I'd like to give it a try?

Yes there is a slight wobbling to the upper in terms of fitment.

Scroll down to the pivot shims...

They eliminate the wiggle.

So do those shims eliminate side to side movement?  The pivot pin
is a Strike Industries and I believe the diameter to be correct.  The only
wiggle is side to side.

Yep, I ordered a set with a few different sizes...just install the largest that will fit and the wiggle/slop/play is gone.
