glazed terracotta not lining up on certain axis's

i was on a world building 3x3x3 cubes when i wanted to make one with a "terracotta circle". when i built a terracotta circle standing up, the bottom left axis did not match up with the others. (note: it worked on the ground, but not standing up) it would flip to the top left, top right, and bottom right axis configurations, but never the bottom left one. i tried with so many colors of glazed terracotta, and none worked. and it was always the bottom left one.
