Character is jittering having character controller in endless runner game

HI i have made an Endless Runner game in unity , but the problem is the character is extremely jittery i have tried many ways to fix it but nothing worked for me i have also tried to tweak the values in character controller especially the skin width but nothing helped , you can see the problem in the video here text

The code used is also attached.

using System.Collections; using System.Collections.Generic; using UnityEngine;

public class PlayerMotor : MonoBehaviour {

 public AudioSource JumpAudio;
 public AudioSource SlideAudio;
 public AudioSource DieAudio;

 private const float LANE_DISTANCE = 2.5f;
 private const float TURN_SPEED=0.05f;

 //
 private bool isRunning = false;

 //Animation

 private Animator anim;

 //Movement
 private CharacterController controller;

 private float gravity = 12.0f;                  //Gravity makes the body fall down
 private float verticalVelocity;                 //This will be set for every single frame
 
 private int desiredLane=1;                      // 0=Left , 1= Middle , 2=Right
