Now I have no issues. The dimples on my seat are now where they should be, they are symmetrical.

If the saddle is too high, you will drop to one side to compensate. You may want to check out Steve Hogg's site. https://www.stevehoggbikefitting.com...ard-can-it-be/

Good luck.
Thanks. I had a pro fit about a year and a half ago, but maybe something has changed. Might be time to do it again.
