Right Siding – To correct a wrong – I’m sure this is an expression but Google is failing me

expressions

I have been using an expression (which no one corrected me on) of "Right Siding" , with the understanding that it means "to correct a wrong" (assuming it was a convenient combination of the idea of "making right", "getting the right side up" or returning to the correct place)… but upon being questioned about it and doing some googling, it looks like I'm alone – did I some how make this expression up and use it for years!?
