Can move face on one side of the part but not on the other side.

Hi There, I am trying to move some faces to make a shape connect to a rod. But for some reason I can do this on one side of the model but I cannot on the other.
Is anyone willing to help me?
This is the part I am talking about.

If anyone could teach my why this happens and how I can prevent it in the future and how I can fix it now I would be really happy!

I can tell you that the asymmetry in your part is coming from Loft 2. If you split the circle, you can get a cleaner, more symmetric Loft.

It's nice people are still building DLGs, says the director and organizer of the 2010 F3K German Open Championships, the first ever fully digital competition, the year before it became World Championships. Keep up the good work, but ….
Your model isn't clean enough. There will be partial intersections and stuff when you go on like this. Also, you model is not symmetrical to the mid plane.
It always gives me the creeps when I see people hiding origin and XYZ planes first thing when starting a design. Build the fuselage center on the origin. Use the standard plane that is titled "Right" as a symmetry plane, then only build one half of the glider. Saves you half the work and makes sure the other side works just as well.
Rethink your approach. It looks like you're trying to use tinkerCAD strategy in Onshape. That'll not take you anywhere. Consult the Onshape learning center. Once you went though that, you will want to to start over from an early stage, I'm sure. And keep in mind for DLG a nose cone radius of at least 5mm is mandatory.
Anyway, here's a quick and dirty version that might work for now:

Thank you everyone for your help! I ended up redesigning the fuselage and I will redo the learning centre :)
