SPS tank location placement

Anyone experience sps thriving on one side of the tank and not so on the other? I can't figure out why the left side of my tank is thriving and the right side not so. could it be due to sunlight hitting that area during the day at certain times? I've noticed my frag rack in that location with algae growing on the sps and glass more so than the left.

My guess is it probably has more to do with flow. It's amazing the differences in growth rate that different spots in the tank get based on how much and what type of flow there is.

My tank gets direct sun for several hours a day, no real difference between areas that get sun and don't

I have (4) 6105's in my tank, 2 on each side pointing at each other, there's a ton of flow but more of a swaying from side to side that this creates. maybe I'll try placing one of the streams on the back wall pointing flow towards the front glass to break up the back and forth flow that is created now.
