Stockinette stitch weirdness in my head or signs of trouble?

I’ve double checked nearly all of the threads and links on the Knitting subreddit to confirm that my stitches are, in fact, not twisted, so I am SO weirded out by how the knitted side looks. It’s like the left side of every stitch twists into one long sad column. Is my brain just having trouble distinguishing the V, or am I missing something and they ARE twisted??

This is worsted K/C superwash merino (rip Joann’s) knitted flat on circulars. I am learning after crocheting for years, and I think I’m doing combination knitting? Continental knits, Norwegian purls. You all are so lovely, thank you for letting us learn from you!!
