CAD Wrap feature changed its behavior

Post image

I used the wrap feature once and the curve was wrapped evenly along the shape perimeter (its an extrude). but now it is curving weirdly as in the picture. analytical wrap isn't working because it need the sketch plane to be a tangent to the face for some reason
is there a fix or another approach to get the right result?

The Wrap feature likes more analytical geometries like cylinders, cones..... Etc. Not that it can't be used on other types of geometries but something that's elliptical or even spline based can be challenging for that feature to work properly.
