Why the analysis behavior does not align with the applied loads and boundary conditions?

A single force acts on the system in the +X direction, with an X-direction constraint provided by the fixed edge of the bottom plate and pin contact between the two cylinders, as shown in the images below.
If there is no load acting on the system in the Y or Z direction, why are the results as shown? (scaling value used is 2)

    I believe, connected middle components creating moments, which exerting forces on end cylinders. It would be wise to take a look at the model to understand the behaviour.
