Every time I shoot and aim at the bullseye , I hit left of the target. Not just with Glocks, revolvers too. What am I doing wrong?

If you're right handed, it sounds like you're pushing forward when you pull the trigger. That's assuming it's not a sight issue.

Not enough finger on the trigger or anticipating recoil.

Not enough finger on the trigger or anticipating recoil. Normally it’s too much finger on the trigger. Just need the front of your finger on the trigger

I have found too much finger causes me to "pull" to the right, too little causes me to "push" to the left.

My advice is to aim at the right of the bullseye.

What am I doing wrong? dryfire just like you live fire and see if your sights move when your shot breaks. If not, you are anticipating recoil, if so adjust grip,/trigger finger position till it stops. Also relax the strong hand a bit and grip more with your weak hand

Go to this site and print out a few of their free targets: https://targets4free.com/corrective-shooting-target/Next time you hit the range, tack one up, shoot it up, and take a look at what your shot placements tell you.

Not enough finger on the trigger or anticipating recoil. Normally it’s too much finger on the trigger. Just need the front of your finger on the trigger Tip of the finger on the trigger, trigger goes away from the palm. Too much finger on the trigger (crease of the first joint) trigger goes toward the palm. Middle of the last pad, trigger straight to the rear, follow-through, equals straight shooting. Pistol or rifle.

If you grip the pistol properly, you add a little pressure with your support hand thumb

Long shot but
Which is your dominate eye and are you using it to aim? Right handed left eye dominate, if you are that combination it can make you shoot to the left. Try shooting with the left eye closed if you have not.

You may be squeezing too hard with your right hand. 70% of your grip pressure should be with your left hand. Your right hand should be about 30% of your grip pressure. (Assuming your right handed)
Grip an unloaded pistol. Aim it at a target and increase your right hand grip pressure. Which way does the muzzle go?

all the above are true
now, shoot from a SOLID rest.
if you still hit left, let another shooter shoot your gun off a SOLID rest.
if it still shoots left. adjust your sights
so much can go wrong shooting handguns
