That happens to me when I bake in my small convection oven and the item is
too large to allow the turntable to spin. The side towards the heat sets
faster and is shorter. Maybe you bread machine has a intermittent problem
with a heating element and one side of the pan in hotter.

Check if your machine is level .
Check if the removable pan is level.

The mixing and kneading cycle may be pushing more dough to one side or
end of the pan.

If your machine has the option, stop the cycle after the mixing and
kneading , dump the dough out and knead a little by hand, put the dough
back in and complete the baking cycle.
