Default do cacti lean into the sun or away from it?

I'm sure I've got some that lean away from the sun... but others appear

Is there an answer to this?

To be honest, it's a bit of a problem with my large cacti as I need them
to grow straight up - there's very little room here.

Cheers for any help,

Tom.


Here's a thought...

Some cacti swell up when it rains, so perhaps, if they only found
water on one side, they'd swell up on that side and lean away.
Are you watering them unevenly?
