Something wrong with the pan(?) of my tracks ...

I was recording with a dynamic mic, into channel 1 of my little 2 track mixer, into the input of the laptop (yeah, I know, not an ideal way to do it), and I keep getting tracks that, visually, look like they're not "centred" on the wave form // If that makes any sense ... They're not centred on the y-axis in the visual representation of the track in Reaper, they're higher than the centre.

I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions to "centre" it. Something is not right. I mucked around with the pan on the mixer but it didn't change anything. I'm definitely a complete noob by the way, so it's probably something quite bleedingly obvious. When I was using Audacity and it did it the same thing, I'd use the "normalize" function and it "centred" it, but I'm pretty sure it shouldn't be happening to begin with!

Thanks!
 
Okay, so I think I worked out that it's actually the phase of the track that's all wonky, not the pan. Does that make more sense? What might the problem be in that case?
