I would like an idea besides just putting something heavy on it overnight.

Not sure what you think the problem is... the uneven distribution of page segments?

Most people don't know that when books are bound, they are grouped in bundles of pages, in a hardcover, those bundles are stiched together and then glued or sewn into the binding.

What you have here is a leather or fake leather cover, and the bundles of the book are bound a little too loosely so when the book is opened, each bundle has more or less play than the others.

I wouldn't say anything is necessarily "wrong" here unless the bundles are loose when the book is closed. No real way for you to fix it either unless you have bookbinding experience.
