The tent will flex a little - but you do not want to mount it that way. What type of Yakima towers are you using gutter mount of rail riders?
I have had several different tents on my 1996 FZJ80 - using three Thule gutter mount tower (300's) and stadard thule cross bars. Level and no bending of the tent platform.
If you need to, you can shim between tent and the cross bar right where the clamp is located. You do not need to shim all the way across the bar. The bottom is plenty strong. You can use an extra mounting plate or a piece of rubber or nylon. Anything that is tough and not abrasive.
