I had the same problem about a year ago on a recurve I was building.  Here's the advice I got.  Maybe it will help.

I found out recurves are a lot tougher than longbows.

2 things:

- your nocs.. make sure they are even.  If not the side that is high will pull down and twist.

- Your side to side from center.. you can sand down the side of the limb (edge) to weaken it a bit to get rid of the twist.

I have had to do both, and both worked for me.
God gave you hands, use them
