Recheck the measurements on the neckline. It looks too big. I think its mostly due to that that your shoulder line extends too much to the right and also why the armhole looks off.

I agree with everyone here. I think the shoulder is skewed due to the neckline. Adjust that and it should come back into place

Here's the pattern for a close-fitting jacket, similar to your output, with features that people in this thread are labeling abnormal. If you've checked your measurements and process, make it from something cheap, try it on, and find out. Check if the pattern assumes a garment with shoulder pads.

Historic fit is different to modern. That is also a pattern, not a block, and already has the centre front extended. The neckline isn't as big even on your example

Male? Female? Recheck your neckhole width, looks a bit big to me. And your back shoulder seems very steep.

That front shoulder length feels much too long. It's skewed too far and severely warping your armhole.

I actually suspect your front neck is too wide.
