Ok so this is the basis of VTOL craft.
You need to have your CoT(Center of Thrust), overlapping your CoM(Center of Mass), that way you’ll fly steady. A gyroscope can instantly fix this, but flying will be a challenge. You can move the CoT by moving the nozzles, and move the CoM by adding weight to the front/back
Your next problem is the problem with most VTOL, when you move the nozzles backward to propel yourself forward, you will pitch upward, slowly turning them forward or a gyro can quickly fix this.
Your final problem is your horizontal stabilizers, you have rotators that turn the fuselage little bits, this is a HUGE no no, fuselages are not wings, they are for the body, you can cover the wings with them for realism, but NEVER make them turn.
You also have some minor problems with your main wings, but those aren’t very problematic.
