Center of lift is pointing slightly sidways. (Need help.)

Does anyone know what causes this? I think the parts are all symmetrical. But if I put the aircraft the long way the center of lift is not straight. Is this a parts problem or some part of the game?

It is straight when facing forwards, but off to the side when turned 90 degrees sideways.

FYI, the aero parts are normally tilted on another access to make a rhomboid shape. But it does not change the nature of the center of lift being off. I put them straight up for diagnostic purposes.

It's fly's very weird. I has a lot of drag. Which I'm hoping is because of the way it deals with internal parts. I may need to invest in some drag boxes deplorable things.

And it's very floaty... If you can get it in the air and not fly it randomly in an odd direction it will float back down.... Kind of like a slow turny seed pod.

When you fly it it always goes in one direction. I'm assuming that is related. And when flying forward, wide ways, it always trys to go to the long direction. (which is sort of good as the idea is to take/land the wide way and do supersonic flight/reentry the long way. But it's currently uncontrollable.)

I'm assuming it effects the flight. Unless it's a different problem. Which is possible.

I'm hoping this is fixable somehow, but I can't find the solution. I rebuilt it from scratch but I couldn't make the dimensions the same for some reason. I kept getting differnt heights and the point of the vessels is it's dimensions.

7.5L/4.33W/2.5H (7.5/Sqrt(3)/Sqrt(3))

Edit: I rebiult it succesfully. I think the problem may have to do with which part I placed the wings on. And it may have shifted one of the wing tips slightly out of allignment. But who knows. The rebild does not have the problems. Although it has some glitches that make the  height and other things wrong constantly.

What did they do in the last builds to mess so many things up. There seems to be lots of little display or other glitches everywhere.

Edit2: Nope. I was wrong. The rebuild also has the same problem. I forgot to flip it sideways to see if it exists. I will have to fly it and see how it flies. I added more surface areas so it should have better lift and performance.
