in need of help, oar won’t sit flat or feather

Have a single scull, am the only one in my city who rows and am about 4 hour drive away from any clubs or places that know how to help. Was with a coach for a year so I can row just fine, but he recently abandoned me so I had to invest in a second hand shell. Was going absolutely great until my right oar sleeve just rotated over night. Got out on the water this morning and it wouldn’t sit flat or feather, going deep every time. When both oars are laying side by side they look pretty similar, so it might have something to do with my oar lock, but the right oar lock seems no different from the left which is working just fine. How do I fix this? Edit: oh my god i’m so stupid i swear I checked the oar lock three times, now that i’m at home and it’s in the slings and I checked again I realize i had it facing the wrong way, i have to go drown myself out of embarrassment 😭 thanks yall
