So i'm shooting product photos for an auction and I shoot vertically a lot. Usually I turn the camera clockwise, with the camera bottom being on my left. When I take the picture, the left edge of the photo seemed shadowed or slightly darker. I thought it was a lighting problem, but I've noticed that if I turn the camera counter clockwise, the right side is dark, not the left. Never experience this before. Suggestions?

What shutter speed are you using?
Some 3rd party flashes have a tiny bit of lag and the camera needs to be backed off the normal flash-sync speed by about 1/3rd of a stop.

Whatever the issue is, it is staying one the same side of the camera. It's not switching sides.
