I'm going to go with gravity. Have you checked to see if your stove is level?

Along with gravity,
at one time, did you give it a vigorous stir and walk away?
Perhaps, even with the slightest bit of not being level, that stir would end up like that... maybe
Have you checked the water to see if it is level? That would be your best tell-tale for level.

Well the water isn't going to be level if the pot isn't level... right? The water follows the positioning of the pot.

LOL. The things that we discuss on DC.

Then why not add one more theoryLOL. The things that we discuss on DC.

All though I doubt this very much, If the pot isn't being heated evenly ( sometimes my pot / pan is not dead center on the burner, which leaves part of the pan more active) , then the hotter side may agitate the beans a little more, causing them to shimmy to the other side. Although , a thin liquid ( like water) would likely be able to maintain a relatively consistent temperature , shooting own my theory .
It probably needs more fish sauce.
Too soon?

I'm curious - are chickpeas the only things that gravitate to one side?
I actually agree with you Larry, I too thought of the burner with either a hot spot or not centered.
Seeing to Believe - you have an Induction stove top, yes?

She ran away to see friends and left me home alone with kittens. Poor poor me.
Poor Seeing to Believe - trying to translate all this insane talk.

Well, I think the question has kind of already been answered. Gravity and a stove that may not be level would be my best guesses as well.
We could be really silly and say that maybe the beans simply like gathering all in one area to stay cozy.
Other than that, I can't really think of any other logical explanation.

Use your instant pot and you will never notice.
Perhaps those are the answers and as you say Linda, I can't think of anyhting else either. Then again, maybe someone can come up with another plausible answer.
