Hi! Fairly simple fix here. In one of the frames, the sprite isn’t technically touching the ground, so it starts falling, which messes stuff up. If you add a single dot somewhere in that frame to make it touching the ground, like I did here:

this issue should be fixed. You will also have to do this for the running left animation.  
Hope this helps!! 😁

maybe on your sideways facing animations line try moving right AND facing right. tell me if this dosnt work. you might also be changing the hit box size for your animation.
