How did you prepare the subfloor in both areas? It sounds like the subfloor is uneven under the boards, I can't think of any option but the lift the boards and investigate the cause of the movement.
 
hi crazydaze, the floor was level and not loose or uneven just like the one floor that i did without nailing, all floors were layed on special sticky one side under lay which we got with the boards
