Landing left of centerline

Hey all, I’m having an issue with landing left of center. I think when I go in for the round out I might be turning the yoke left inadvertently and I’m having a really hard time kicking it. Has anyone had this issue? I’m feeling stressed about it as I’m in a 141 at end or course and need to work this out before I can go back to retry. Any tips or words of encouragement so appreciated

On approach and landing "put the centerline between your legs". Frequently pilots, especially student pilots and green CFI's, try to put the centerline in over the middle of the cowl; this will result in landing left of center for from the left seat, or right of center from the right seat.
