Is there an error in the gusseted combination of box columns?

hello, when I connected the IPE beam on the box column with a gusset, I saw that the lower stiffener body was bent towards one side of the box column. This problem does not appear with the upper stiffener. I wonder if I am wrong in the definition or if this problem can be fixed for box columns, thank you.
 
Hello there; It is normal to obtain incorrect geometry since the joint geometry is of column - beam combination type with H, I profiles. From the joints, you can use the butt plate joint for the support joint or for the box/pipe profiles. Good work.
