I went to the museum itself a few years ago, but I found this which discusses the instability of the ship. https://faculty.up.edu/lulay/failure/vasacasestudy.pdf

I believe it was also this. In spirit of collaboration, the Dutch did one side and the Swedes did the other. The unfortunate part was that the Dutch inch and the Swedish inch are slightly different which led to one side being heavier than the other causing it to lean too far to one side and take on water some few hundred meters from shore.

That’s a fair assessment. I unfortunately couldn’t find a reference during my brief search, but that was what they said when we went to the museum.
