Apex on ps5 stutter/jitter bug looking around because fps often higher than 60.

PS5 STUTTERING/JITTERING WHEN LOOKING AROUND BECAUSE FPS UNSTABLE (FPS GOING BEYOND 60?)

Product: Apex Legends
Platform: PS5
Please specify your platform model: PS5 Disc

What happens when the bug occurs?:

As I look around in the game I find it to be jittery and stuttering. I found the cause for this being frame rate related but the behaviour of the frame rate is strange. I would expect this kind of problem to be because of frames dropping but instead the frames are looking like they're going beyond 60fps (which is what the ps5 is capped to) into the 70's and 80's for a period of time while looking towards certain parts of the game that are graphically intense, not any specific parts but the parts from wherever you are at any point on the map, making this issue consistent throughout the game constantly messing with ones aim.

Here's a video I made that showcases me looking left and right specifically in the direction the issue was happening, it's like aim assist is being triggered but it is not and this is the major problem. I looking and mistake this stutter/jitter for me detecting an enemy.

please feel free to slow the video down to see the fps going up for whatever reason, otherwise one can see the slight jitter/stutter at 60fps on ps5. 

Have also attached an image of the fps counter at 82/83 just to give a still example as well, screenshot taken from the same video linked above.
