Black columns disappear after rotation and resize

Hello,

I've needed to rotate and then resize several clips in order to level the horizon. Prior, there were vertical black columns on either side of the clip. Now, they are skewed. Clips that were not rotated still have the vertical black columns. I am sure there is a simple fix to this, but am new to FCP. 

Below is example. The "Hawaii 2021" screen shot shows the vertical black columns. The second photo, with people, was rotated and now shows skewed black edges. How do I get those to be straight again and match the other clips.

Thanks,

Jason

Skew is created by the Distort tool, not the rotation tool.

I created a PNG file to cover the assorted frame miscue registration in my film transfers. Keeps you from having some irregular manual crop ruining things.

Place this PNG file on top layer and stretch it to cover timeline. Scale horizontal to cover (feaux crop as it were) any wonkiness beneath it.
