My leans big time and it’s perfectly fine.

Leaning isn’t a huge deal for the health of the plant, but if its a balance/tipping issue your worried about you can always stake it, I gently wrap twine or string around the whole plant about half way up and gently tighten till its supported, NOT so the whole plant is tight against the pole. Just so I can feel the weight be relieved from the side it’s leaning towards.

From the looks of it, it looks like the stem is fine and its just the leaves leaning? If you don’t want to stake it then you can turn it 180 so the other side is facing the light and it should lean the other way.

i had just packed the soil down but by morning it’s usually leaning a lot a lot

I would probably stake it then. Get creative on what you use and how you do it, just make sure its not cutting into any of the leaves and its supporting the plant to be upright. I’d also turn it so it tries to come back to center.

The lean usually means its trying to reach the light, so move it closer to a bright window if you can.
