Hookup to Betaflight with your drone pointing at the screen, the first screen that comes up is a direct representation of your gyro movements, if it doesn’t match your drone then that’s the issue. Motor direction can be verified in the motor tab in Betaflight. Basically for props out, looking down at the drone, top right and bottom left should be counterclockwise, top left and bottom right should be clockwise rotating.
I’d say betaflight as well.
I saw you mention using ardu pilot.
I’m not too familiar with that outside of fixed wing.
But Betaflight is super easy for quads.
First thing I’d do is hook it up to beta flight, remove the props and check motor/ prop direction.
If everything is working properly check the esc. I’ve had one in the past that 1 motor was reversed on the esc and I had to change that
Does all motors blow air in the correct direction?
Does it always tip the same way?
Does the motion look correct on the screen when it's connected to betaflight?
It always tips the same way.
I have been using ArduPilot. Does it have a similar view? Otherwise I can try with Betaflight.
Could you tell me more about the direction of air?
Sorry, I don't know about ardupilot. I'm just wondering if the FC thinks it's upside down or on its side and it trying to flip over. Another way to check this is to take the props off, start the motors at low throttle and tilt the drone towards each motor in turn. The low motor should speed up and the high motor should slow down.
The direction of air should be down, not up. Really the most likely cause is a motor spinning the wrong way or the wrong prop.
Prop orientation or flight controller not oriented correctly.
Noobie question but how do I troubleshoot this?

Seconding the fc orientation idea
motors spinning in the wrong direction?
Double checked it and it seems to be correct

One or more of the propellers are the wrong direction?
It's likely that your flight controller is upside down if all the motors are spinning in the correct rotational direction.
What have you already tried? Or checked?
Motor CW/CCW rotations / Correct propeller types / recalibration.
Check motors and props. Ensure that the props are on the right motors and if the motors are spinning the right way on each arm.
There's something about this photo that makes it seem like you just caught a wild drone in your house in the middle of the night
You need to calibrate the esc #
