I don't think it's a load issue, both sides are driven by the same motor. Could the passenger side transmission arm just be slightly out of alignment relative to the drivers? That might cause the clamshell to be 'twisted' slightly causing what you've described?

You can disconnect the drive cable on one side, the move the motor slightly/ reattach cable to get them realigned.
