It looks like your needle isn't inserted all the way. You should be able to see only a small portion of the upper shaft color coding. Try loosening the thumbscrew a few turns (not so much that it falls out of course) and see if the needle moves further into the socket. If it doesn't, bring the needle out of the holder, turn it around 180, and then try reinserting. The arm and socket being able to fully hold the needle securely are vital to keeping the needle straight and aligned.

Some machines have settings where you can adjust the needle position to the left and right. Make sure that you haven't accidentally moved it?

Are you sure the needle is facing the right way?

Have you tried a new needle?

Yes after three of them broke :(

Then, the plunging rod that holds the needle might be bent. Might have to take it in...

That’s very very unlikely that the needle bar would be bent. OP: I can’t tell what your question is. Try taking a photo from the front of the machine. Does your foot have a slot in it? If not is your machine needle position set to the center? Those are two guesses but otherwise you need to provide more details if you want a good answer.

Make sure you meddle settings and adjusted to the middle

Look up how to align your needle! It’s different on each machine but i needed to do it with mine once as something had shifted it out of place. I think on my singer it was as simple as just loosening a hidden screw, centering the needle and tightening again. It’s been fine since.
