In tubulence the whole aircraft is moving slightly relative to its flightpath - in yaw, pitch and roll - that's why you can feel it. It is therefore constantly changing the position of its parts relative to the sun, which is fixed. Therefore the shadow of any part will be moving slightly in resonance with the turbulence effect. This is what you were seeing IMHO, not any movement of the stabiliser relative to the rest of the airframe!
