Well one of the things that has confused me when taught relativity is-
if have length contraction of an object in one direction and not
perpendicular to that direction; then surely its getting denser along
the contracted length and then increase gravitational force in the
perpendicular direction; so should cause contraction in that direction
also (?) But gravitational effect seems to be ignored.

Can Buster Keaton explain the Michelson Morley experiment? ;-)

Instead of length contraction in the direction of the aether wind,
suppose the perpendicular leg of the MM apparatus leans into the aether
wind instead.
The right amount of lean could have the effect of lengthening the travel
time on the nominally perpendicular leg so that no fringe shift is
produced.
