I suspect you are using a tie without a direction character.  This is
fine, but when Lilypond doesn't make the direction decision you would
make, you can force it with the ^ and _ characters.

%%%
\version "2.22.1"

% Tie direction automatic
{ c''1 ~ 1 }

% Tie direction up
{ c''1 ^~ 1 }

% Tie direction down
{ c''1 _~ 1 }
%%%
