The ones in the middle get less sunlight and compete between them.
Fertilize only the ones in the middle and slightly trim the ones on the ends.

Plants do not always grow evenly. Why is that an issue? This looks fine to me, and in fact it looks better than the usual boring line of trees that are exactly the same. Do not start pruning them or you will damage or kill them. Just learn to leave interesting things alone.

Is it distorted perspective or do the ones in the middle look more crammed together than the spacing of the ends? I’m looking at the base of the ends and if the ones in the middle are too close you should alleviate that asap.

You should just be grateful they’re alive lol. They look great.

Sloped yard? Ends getting more drink. Does it follow the seasonal sun? Something casting a shadow on the center ones? Roots fighting for resources, being closer than the rest?

They’re all too close together and will probably all die.

What direction is the front of the house facing? The ones in the ends are probably shading the ones in the middle, or the middle is getting less sun.
You could absolutely thin the middle too and pull out some of the trees. All of these trees are too close together in my opinion, but people will plant them like this to create a privacy screen faster.

There’s no way these were planted at the same time. The middle ones probably died and got replaced with 6 footers

The ones in the middle are younger the others. At some point they died and were replaced
