Hi @mohara viiz, thank you for posting in the community! The vertical layout style for org charts will only display the employee shapes in the lowest tier vertically, this may cause the manager to appear ‘horizontal’. 

Would you mind sharing a screenshot of what you are seeing to help us take a closer look at the position of the manager in question?

Hi @mohara viiz, thank you for sharing the screenshot - this is exactly what I needed! ​​

Using your screenshot as an example, I can see that the employees circled in red are the direct reports of those who report to the manager in question. However, the employees circled in blue do not have direct reports. 

Unfortunately, this is expected behavior for the vertical layout style. Only employees at the lowest level will be shown in a vertical style. I’ve attached a GIF demonstrating this behaviour:
