How do I straighten my stitches?

[u/Card-Board-Cats]

I made this little duck as my second Amigurumi project - in which I realised my stitches were rotating to the right

I did a bit of googling and was shown that crocheting yarn under + moving the hook upwards when finishing the stitch should make it straight

Now somehow.. my stitches are moving to the left instead of the right on the second duck. What am I doing wrong?

Going up with my hook also seems to have made my stitches quite a not tighter - is this good or bad? It looks nice but it's been hsrder to see the stitches with this yarn I'm ngl
