Transfer case issue after xhp?

I drive a 2017 540xdrive, i flashed xhp transmission tune and a couple weeks later i get this issue when i want to park, going very slow while hitting the brakes, the car vibrates a little. It happens sometimes

Now it happens more when the wheel is at an angle not straight. Im at 86k miles

I heard it can be the transfer case but i wanted to see other peoples opinions

Try getting your transfer case fluid changed first. Should fix the problem.

I think you're in tiger country here. I almost flashed this thing but thought better of it after reading about premature ZF failures.
