I'm just wondering if it can be fixed and what's wrong.

Unfortunately, most of us are not nearly as symmetric as we think. It sounds like you were simply born with a bony structure that has one eye smaller and further away from your nose than your other eye. While there is surgery that can be done to change the shape of the facial bones, it is a HUGE surgery reserved for those people born with significant deformities, and is likely not an option for you. Straightening a crooked nose, however, is a common surgery that could be performed relatively easily. I would suggest seeing a Board Certified surgeon who does computer imaging in their office. This way you could see how much of a difference just straightening the nose would have on your overall appearance. I hope this helps. Good luck.
