I setup my cnc to do a vcarve to do a bible verse demo for a cuþing board on mdf yesterday i zeroed x and y at the bottom left like i always do and the z in the middle then i realized that it was cutting to far to the right cause it ran out of room i rechecked everything everything was ok even reset x and y so i dont what i did wrong any help would be apreciated as i am really new to this
It’s easier to help you figure this out if you post the file so we can look at.

What @Redlander said and the size of your stock.

Usually it is caused by a mismatch between job setup:
https://carbide3d.com/hub/courses/create/job-setup/
and how origin is set relative to the stock:
https://carbide3d.com/hub/courses/running-shapeoko/movements-zeroing/
I find that opening the .c2d file up and drawing a box which matches the specified dimensions (draw up the cut in profile if need be) or moving the machine to the origin and then using a tape measure to measure out the dimension(s) in question will make clear where things aren’t lining up.
If you still have trouble, please upload the .c2d file and let us know step-by-step how you are securing your stock and setting zero relative to it and managing all tool changes, and send a photo showing the stock in place and the machine at the zero position relative to it (or a specified offset from that position) and screengrabs showing what Carbide Motion shows for Position and Machine Position (click on either to toggle to the other).
