I suspect you did not turn off image stabilization {whatever it's called on your camera/lens} - it shows most notably in the third photo but is seen in all 3 - - the lines should be straight - not wiggly.

See my posts in another thread:
See the first post for the camera setup {I actually found 10 sec more useful EXCEPT for the finale}, the second for a few photos.
We had THREE nights of Fireworks - - I needed the first two to work out the bugs
