OK, you see the small letters ュ,ャ,ッ,ェ and ィ used in the three names in the middle? When writing them vertically, you need to change their positioning. In horizontal, they are placed at the bottom just as the normal letters (except the horizontal bar). In horizontal, the base line is at the bottom of the letters just as in European languages.
In vertical writing, the base line is at the right-hand side of the letters. Let me show you using Shpil-sher.

Simply move the two small letters a little to the right so that all the letters are lined up on the imaginary vertical line at the right.
