Try antitombstone paste or if you are using nitrogen back off on the amount of nitrogen used.

Tombstoning is a result of imbalanced force experiences by the device during reflow due to unequal behavious of the solder paste across all sides of the device. Could be due to many factors a few of this are: (1) Unequal solder mass distribution, (2)Misalignment during device placement, (3) Poor Reflow Profile. Trust me, such problem can surely be resolved.
