The Bend Modifier works from the object’s transform data. If your object has unapplied location, rotation, or scale, the bend may appear skewed, stretched, or offset.

To fix it:

1. Select your object.

2. Press Ctrl–A → Apply → All Transforms.

3. Re-add or adjust the Bend Modifier.

Applying transforms ensures the modifier works with the object’s true geometry, giving you clean, predictable bends.
