New Tegu arrived injured need advice

So I purchased a b&w Tegu recently from Tegusonly.com my guy has arrived and his left front foot seems to be injured. He/she is walking with it's left front foot side ways, like walking on the side of it's foot. It just came yesterday so I know it's settling in.

I did take it to the vet yesterday, x-rays appeared good and there was no break.

The pictures Rodney sent me show the Tegu walking normally, and I know he wouldn't send out an injured Tegu purposely.

So with all that said, any ideas, or advice?

What could be the issue?

All seems well now. Literally massaged the foot and leg, helped stretch it a bit. Fell asleep for an hour. (Woops). Tegu was above my head curled up in the couch cushion, woke it up, it was walking totally normal. Total turn around. Must have been a muscle issue. Great animal.
