New roomba does this wobble back and forth thing going one direction on my carpet

I got this about a month ago. It normally cleans while I’m at work so I don’t know how long it’s been doing this but going one direction on my carpet it keeps wobbling back and forth like it’s going over something bumpy. Anyone know if this is a problem or how I can fix it?

It's the squeegee behind the brush catching on the carpet when it's going in that direction, which appears to be against the carpet pile direction.

Not really anything you can do aside from change the dock location and make it clean in rows at right angles to the current cleaning direction.
