I'm not sure where the twine tensioners are on that baler but I'd guess that tehy're somewhere around where the twine leaves the twine can. Add tension to the string of the long side. It may take it out of 'spec', but to my way of thinking, if it straightens the bale out, so be it. I'm only working with an old Ford baler but it definitely makes a difference.
ALso check the hay dogs as others have suggested, and you may want to adjust the penetration of the packer system so that it doesn't push as much hay to the left side of the bale... but in every dealing I've ever had with a square baler it's near impossible to get enough hay over to the left. They usually make the left side soft... which is why I'm guessing that yours has a twine tension issue when the left side is long. I'd not be scared to tension it until it straightens out so long as it doesn't start dropping knots...
