It's not difficult to keep your mob positioned in front of you, of course, but in bigger pulls mobs tend to shove each other around a little. Mob's can't overlap hitboxes, so once you get a pack of 5 or more they run the risk of shoving each other out of position and can, rarely, get pushed to the range of your hitbox that is considered the "flank." It's not common though, and I think I've only seen something like this happen when there's a few big mobs mixed in who squeeze the little guys to the sides. It's kind of funny to watch them shove each other around for the sake of positioning.
I know exactly what you mean xD especially in A2 SA2 or when you run unsynced content and pull the whole place. I found that the easy fix to this is to target as best as you can the "middle" mob of the pack and slowly back pedal as theyre being burnt down. It's almost like the system constantly reshuffles them and the system registers their hits to the front of your hitbox.
