The issue is not entirely identical but, it IS very much related so yes, this place was the correct place to post it.
Before your post a detailed explanation, there's no need for it. Right now, GSX doesn't really know about exact measurement of the plane internal cabin so, ULD/Pallet loading is made using a generic calculation based on fixed distances that don't change by airplane.
Doing it right, would require having to configure exactly for each plane those data. And, we'll probably need to add extra data to know exactly how many containers of each type can fit, which would be even more complex when mixing up different types of pallets. That would probably justify a completely separate add-on dedicated only to cargo operations.
Again, everything's possible, and everything's noted for possible future updates.

I don't really agree but sure

No, I think this is actually an issue specificly with how ALF is positioned in GSX.
As I'm sure you're aware, the lower hold is designed in such a way that allows contoured containers ie. AKE, ALF etc. to more effectively use space in the rounded fusalage. When the loaded is used on an aircraft, the loader is parked in such a away that the loader floor meets the floor of the aircraft.

In this diagram the yellow represents the upper deck of the deck loader, the red the interior wall of the hold, and the blue the external skin.

In this version of the diagram, the green represents the ALF. This is how it should be loaded. The issue is caused by the ALF being loaded as if it were a pallet, GSX does not account for the contour. Like this:

With the sim paused with the ALF in the correct spot, you can see the issue is not present:

However with the ALF fully loaded, it is sticking out the other side like the screenshot in the original post:

This issue is completely different from the issue with pallets being loaded on the incorrect angle.

It's still related to the way GSX loads pallets and ULD with the information it has.
However, maybe in this case it might just be a matter of checking if all containers have their center of gravity set correctly.
