I'm getting inconsistent margins across pages. The preamble of my document is:

\documentclass[12pt,a4paper,twoside, openright]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{amsmath}
\usepackage{amsfonts}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{sectsty}
\usepackage{listings}
\usepackage{color}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{mathptmx}
\usepackage{framed}
\usepackage{xcolor}

% Title Formats for Chapter and Section Headings 
\titleformat{\section}{\normalfont\bfseries}{\thesection}{1em}{}[{\titlerule[0.8pt]}]
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
{\normalfont\bfseries \centering}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{12pt}{}


\titlespacing{\chapter}{0pt}{-50pt}{14pt}
\titlespacing{\section}{0pt}{14 pt}{14pt}

I haven't used any other commands to change spacing. The margins do return to the original value on the next page.

    You are loading the class with the twoside, which means that even and odd pages have mirrored margins for two-sided printing (so that you get a page spread consisting of an even and an odd page). If you don't want that because you plan to print your document one-sided or don't want to print it at all, remove the option twoside. – moewe Jan 10 '21 at 06:45
  • I don't want to print but I want each new chapter to start from a new page. – Yashbhatt Jan 10 '21 at 06:53
  • Since you're loading the report document class with the options openright and twoside, you might as well employ the book document class, in which (a) chapters start on a new page automatically and (b) the options openright and twoside are the defaults. – Mico Jan 10 '21 at 07:00
  • Alright. Thanks for the help! Although, do I have to manually change the margins to make the page symmetrical in twoside? – Yashbhatt Jan 10 '21 at 07:08

    Even in the report class \chapters start on a new page, whether you use twoside or not. If you remove twoside you should get symmetric margins and \chapters still start on a new page. (You probably won't be needing openright if you remove twoside since there are no left and right pages any more.) – moewe Jan 10 '21 at 07:22

    Cool. Thanks again! – Yashbhatt Jan 10 '21 at 07:25
