Are you using the flat alpha and straight edges techniques? Are you using the same brand of thread and pushing up after every row? These could be some factors that affect how your alphas turn out.

Make sure you're keeping your knot tension consistent. I would recommend pulling your knots more loosely, as pulling it extremely tight can make it warp. Make sure to use the same type of thread for base threads, otherwise you'll have different sized knots

make sure you don't move your base strings round too much. Make sure they stay in the same place so they don't go wonky.

Adding on to the rest of the suggestions, you can use your nail/ a ruler to straighten out every row before continuing with the next one ❤️

I’ve been using the white thing that I wrap my strings on to push up each row when I’m done and it is helping 👍

Just practice. No ones alphas have always been perfect.
