However, when I run it in a loop, some matrices are symmetric whereas some are not. What could be the reason?
Serious ? you did not even dared to give an example of the problem.
The minimum is an example with calling sequence to reproduce the problem.
There is a tool that allow you to see what your code is doing, its name is debugger. Mastering the debugger is not optional, it is mandatory for any programmer, no exception.
It is also a great learning tool because it show you reality and you can see which expectation match reality.
When you don't understand what your code is doing or why it does what it does, the answer is
debugger.
Use the debugger to see what your code is doing. Just set a breakpoint and see your code performing, the debugger allow you to execute lines 1 by 1 and to inspect variables as it execute, it is an incredible learning tool.

The debugger is here to show you what your code is doing and your task is to compare with what it should do.
There is no magic in the debugger, it don't find bugs, it just help you to. When the code don't do what is expected, you are close to a bug.
