I think the shooters might be tighter on one side.

Here's a tip.
Alternate tie off sides.
Yes, having all your knots at one side can make one side tighter causing it to fly the wrong way

i dunno if its the angle or what but the pocket looks a little lop-sided

if you put the middle shooter going to opposite way, it will help to throw more straight. it could be that since all shooters are pointing to the left, they spin the ball to the left. alternating will disrupt the leftward spin

Well first off are you a righty? IF you are this is a simple problem to fix. What side your shooters are tied off at does not really make that big of a difference.
The problem you have is you have to much whip in your stick. You are most likely shooting 3/4. Whip is causing the ball to go down which when you are shooting 3/4 is making your shots go down and to the left. Follow that?
If you didnt follow this just take some whip out of your stick.

if that's fresh mesh, then it's the mesh.. combined with the fact that your shooters look tighter on one side..

its brine tho, and slinky you want to keep all the shooters left of the head(looking at the back) so when you faceoff shooters wont be in the way. and looking at your pocket you have a crease in the bottom right of your mes which probably forces the ball to sit a little bit left in the pocket. that is a pretty good string job
