Paddles out of alignment maybe or centre of gravity.

But also, hovering trim and flying trim are seldom the same - that's why your cyclic trims are not common across all flight modes. You trim each flight mode independently, so trim each one for the type of flying that you do in that mode.

A big, flat, solid horizontal fin will also help - the downwash from the main blades will push down on the tail.

its always been spot on in both hover and ff i've never been able to get it right since a crash about 2 month ago, centre of gravity is ok and the paddles i lined up with the bottom of the main blade grips with a pitch gauge so they should be level

are those any super-ultralight paddles, by chance?

If that was the case, wouldn't the heli roll to the left due to gyroscopic precession?
