As seen in the screenshots, cheat engine disassembles the enter 5089,70 instruction incorrectly, when i select the instruction and try to shift the bytes by 1, it starts shifting the bytes by the topmost instruction which is not the instruction i selected, when i align the instruction i want to shift the bytes of as the topmost instruction and then shift the bytes of it, the moment i scroll up it just goes back to its old state, how can i permanently change how a snippet of machine code is disassembled (meaning even when i scroll up or down it wont change)?

You can't.

If it really bothers you, replace those three '00' bytes with 'CC'.
Don't do this if the area between functions is used for data. Only do that for padding.

Use the left / right arrow keys to manually shift the disassembler start address by 1 byte.

What do you mean by "data" exactly ?

I assume you mean allocated variables, objects in memory.

"data" as in primitive values. Floating point values, pointers (e.g. jump table), etc.

The bytes that comprise such values will get disassembled as garbage. You can't change those values without incurring side effects, unlike padding bytes that do nothing and as such can be changed freely.
