Pics would help a bit. But not being able to see it I would guess the grind is a little off on the razor, so when you get to the toe on that side you need to apply a tiny bit of pressure closer to the edge. It might even lift the spine off the hone depending on how the grind is. You may even need to do a rolling x on that side.

Looks like it might be ok, although there is a larger bevel at the toe. It could be from too much pressure at the end too. Try inking the bevel with an indelible marker and then making a pass on the coti to see if it indeed isn't contacting the hone.

the bevel at the front is the same on both sides its how it came from dovo .
so u recon a bit of pressure on the area that isnt touch in . and put it on my hone u can see its not touching .

Not so much pressure on the sense you are trying to flatten it, but more trying to rotate the razor so it touches.
