I had that same issue. It turns out that my entire house has tilted ever so slightly at some point in the past.
I had the gutters replaced this year, but even the carpenters had difficulties understanding the issue. The boards behind my gutters are sloping inwards in a 45° angle as it was customary to do in the 70s when the roof was changed, so when they moved the gutter downwards they’d also move them inwards, which inevitably resulted in the lower end being too inwards to catch the flow from the roof. Despite several attempts to explain this, it was apparently too difficult to grasp. I’ll see if it works with the summer rains, otherwise I will have to adjust them myself, by inserting incremental increasing sizes off spacers between the boards snd the gutter hangers… it won’t be pretty, but at least it’ll be mathematically correct and functional.
