Every time i rotate my right wrist it pops and cracks, but for my left wrist it cracks minimally. is this an issue and how can i fix it?

I assume there has been no recent injury,swelling or redness. Unless you're experiencing pain and/or tenderness, these popping or cracking noises are harmless & caused by air in joints or movement of ligaments or tendons over joint structures. If you still have concerns, see your MD for an examination & advise.
