i baled 78 bales with the old baler and missed about 4 bales in the begining. the only problem im having now is some bales are tighter than others. also it seems the right side is the loosest. any way to fix this?

Do try to get the book. I think NH can probably supply it. I got one for my 532 a couple years ago.
Other than that, I would first check the twine tension. That will make the bales lopsided. Then the feed forks if necessary. It may also be worth adjusting the feed baffle forward, especially if you're baling a light crop. If the baler is full, then move it back. You really need the book because there is so much more information than I can give in a short post....

On the tension adjuster at rear of bale chamber, count the threads and make sure both are the same. There are a couple of sets of wedges inside the bale chamber one or all may be rusted out or worn out. You really need that book for this thing. The feeder forks could need adjusting. Your hay may even be thick and thin or even cured better in places.

Check those wedges in the chamber. The hay dog springs could also be weak or broken. The adjusters should be even. So something is out of whack. See which hole the feeder fork closest to the bale chamber is in on the arm it mounts to. The forks should be timed 180 degrees from one another. Which side is the short side of bale?
