The metal jointer at the top of the poles..... where they bend from wall to roof...... On the first side, you can see all, or at least most, of the jointer. On the "Well behaved" side, the pole sleeve material is right down to the actual bend, so you can only see half the jointer.
(On the pole that you have unclipped, you can even see the first half inch of the black roof pole, whereas on the other side, only half of the metal jointer can be seen!)
First things first, the whole tent needs to be centralised on the poles, so it is symmetrical each side, with the same amount of jointer showing. Do this before any pole clips get attached, and before guying out.
Ideally, you also need to close all door zips (and windows, if you have them), before any pegs go in, and certainly before any guylines get tensioned up!
Try the above first, and see how it sits then.
