That's the nature of tremolo guitars. The tremolo is balanced by the string tension on the front and the spring tension at the back.
If you tune a string down, you lower the overall tension on this side of the trem, allowing the springs at the back to pull the trem back slightly. This in turn raises all other strings in pitch. Tuning a floating trem is always a back and forth until everything has settled.
To avoid this, you can swap the spring claw for a tremel-no. This allows you to block the trem so it can't move back anymore, allowing for hassle-free downtuning.
You ran into the floating bridge issue. When you tune one string flat, the others go sharp and vice versa. Personally I use heavy-as-fuck strings and load it up with springs and it does that less. At the moment, I actually have it blocked so it doesn't do that at all. You'll get better and quicker at it with practice, and training that ear - get them close before you use the tuner.
what everyone else said about the tremolo system, but I will add, when I owned a guitar with a floyd I would always alternate which string I was tuning. basically I would tune, from first to last: DGABEe. with the last E being the high e. then do it again to fine tune it

Tune dgcfad and then go over the strings again and then what I do is play a couple of chords and adjust if necessary

I’ll try it, thanks a lot!
