Yes,
I'm not an expert but I flew many hang gliders and the cross bar would shift and creat more lift on the low wing because the high wing is flying faster.
Because the gliders don't have a rudder the cross bar moves side to side and changes the wash out and wash in of the wing tips as needed when making turns
