Why do you think it should be "flush left"? When you specify
(left . -1300)
Emacs will tell the window manager to position the right edge of the
frame 1300 pixels to the left of the right screen edge. You will get a
"flush left" effect if and only if your screen is as wide as
(+ 1300 (* 176 (frame-char-width)))
plus the space needed for scrollbars and frame decorations. Why don't
you use (left . 0)?

Maybe your window manager tries to keep the frame within the screen
boundaries.
