How do i make a tilt rotor without the tilting motors messing with the center of mass?

Its all in the title really. I am having trouble with tilting the motors of my tilt rotor aircraft. For some reason when i tilt the proppelers it starts to rapidly pitch up. The proppelers are custom and shouldn't provide lift (i used structural pieces, not structural wings) . Ive tried changing both the mass and drag to 0 but nothing seems to work. Can somone help me?

    Maybe your engines pods have a high mass at the rear ?

    @ToeTips The proppelers dont do anything but spin, i use VTOL nozzles to proppel the aircraft but even with 0% trust going into airplane mode starts tilting the whole aircraft backwards

    Perhaps it is because the propellers that were previously pushing you forwards because they were forward have now had their direction changed? Why do you think thrust vectoring is a thing? Do you understand what I'm implying?
