So, a few days ago, I decided to loosen the tensions on my MeiYing in order to decrease catching. Unfortunately, it ended with the cube having uneven tensions and I have no idea how to fix them. I've looked on YouTube and found no video that could help me out. If anyone could help, that would be great!

Tension every side to the max and then loosen until you found the right tensions.

I wouldn't tension the cube to the max, you could break the core if you try to tighten it more than you can.

3x3 is easy to disassemble and assemble, so I would recommend disassembling the cube so you can see how tight each side is and it's easy to get even tensions doing that. I tension my cubes like this.

won't do any good, if you tension 1 side to the max then the rest won't be as easy to tension to the max, therefore the last side you tension won't be tensioned to the max when it will feel like it is. just take the cube apart and look at the tensions there
 
I had the same problem a few weeks ago and i found a way to get them pretty even. Hold your cube with both hands, put your thumbs on FL and FR and then pull those pieces outwards. If you do this you will see if L and R are evenly evenly tensioned and then just try to even them out.
