After Dr. Mann blows up part of Endurance and sends it spinning, Cooper must match its spin by spinning the shuttle to dock with it. Both Cooper and Dr.Brand can be seen leaning toward the right when the shuttle starts to spin. They return to the upright position when the shuttle has successfully docked with Endurance and both stopped spinning by using the shuttle's retro-thrusters. When the shuttle and Endurance spin at the same speed, they are both in a uniform circular motion, so the only force felt by Cooper and Dr. Brand should be the centripetal force pointing towards the spinning axis, which is behind their seats. They should only feel tangential acceleration that can rotate their seats when the circular motion is not uniform (i.e. when the shuttle spins up and the shuttle plus Endurance slow down). The correct reaction should be: they lean to the right when the shuttle spins up, return to the upright position when the RPM matches, then lean to the left when they slow down, and finally return to the upright position when Endurance stops spinning.
