3D printing and layer shifting

was wondering if any fellow 3d printing people could help me with some print issues! recently i picked up an anycubic kobra go, and it's been great in terms of quality and ease of use, but my one issue has been consistent layer shifting that seems to happen when the printhead is moving anything over like 30 mm/s. IDK if it's a fault with the belt or the motor or something because my wheels and belt are both correctly tightened. was thinking maybe the motor was defective?? anyone else have similar issues?

Layer shifting is one of the most frustrating issues in 3D printing, often caused by mechanical misalignment, loose belts, or incorrect speed settings. Addressing these factors improves print quality significantly. Equally important is choosing reliable materials—using the right 3D Printing Powder ensures consistency, stability, and better layer adhesion, ultimately reducing defects and boosting overall print accuracy.
