That first node (the top one) needs to be on the left side bearing (x == 0). Select the path and move it to the left until the that node has a diamond shape around it, indicating that it’s at the side bearing. That should fix the issue.

Looking at your example .glyphs file, shifting that path in the corner glyph 105 units to the left should fix the issue.
