Each rim is sided, and it is to do with the drilling of the spoke holes in terms of offset from center. Sometimes on deeper carbon rims the hole on the rim surface is centered, but the shoulder on which the nipple sits inside is offset.
If you look at Roger Musson's book. He describes "type 1" and "type 2 rim patterns.
I'd recommend relacing.
