What Tacye suggests was my first thought. It sounds to me like you don’t have the harp balanced correctly on your knees. Also you may be trying to sit too close in to the harp. Both of these can cause your knees to put excess pressure on the back of the harp causing it to shift as you play.

Definitely video yourself playing so you can see exactly what you are doing from a different perspective.
