So every time I fly my MA I notice when I let go of the sticks that my drone yaws to the left very slowly. Any clue to remedy this problem? I calibrated the rc once
 
I would make sure your sticks are free and clear and calibrate it again, away from anything metallic. Remember, concrete often has rebar in it that will fowl up a calibration.

The controller calibration is not sensitive to magnetic fields.
You are confusing it with the compass.

So yes, it’s IMU which needs to be calibrated, not compass. IMU needs a very flat surface.
 
You can try calibrate the remote controller too if the IMU calibration doesn't fix it.

DJI does actually specifically recommend not doing it near metal objects, which suggests it is in fact sensitive to magnetic fields in some way. It could also just be them recycling their instructions for compass calibration, but it was in their dedicated video for controller calibration.
