When you flipped the rear leafs how did you get them to align with the perches? It sounds like your axle is skewed, and your CAPS LOCK BUTTON IS STUCK. Welcome to the site. Post up a pic of your rear springs/axle and somebody can probably help you figure it out.

Take some measurements, center of hub front to rear both sides see if they're the same. Sounds like the rearend is not in the alignment holes.  Was it ok before you flipped the rearend?

Turn you caps lock off.

If it wasn't crooked before, make sure you put the spring perches on correctly.
