I havean issue with my project. I’m trying to twist
or turn this shape and keep it
exactly the same. When I do
it, the shapes change and stretch.
How to correct this?

You need to group your flower

Double check that you gave not enabled rotary. That will compress the y axis on a flat laser
Grouping the six petals of the flower can make it easier to select all of them for a singular adjustment but it’s not required.
I assume that you’re seeing the stretch when you’re rotating one of the flowers in the work area in LightBurn.
Select all of the petals by holding a mouse button to hold-click then drag-open a selection box to select all the petals at once. I think you’re doing this part correctly because the stretch looks consistent. After you have the petals within the selection box, release the mouse button. You should see moving dashed lines around all of the petals and a series of ‘drag-handles’ on the corners and in the middle of edges of the section.
If you want to rotate the selection without stretching it, move your cursor toward a corner showing a curved two-headed arrow. When you get close enough to activate the rotate option, your cursor will change to match the two-headed arrow. When it changes, click and hold the mouse button and drag the selection to rotate it. 
I think you may be attempting to rotate the shape by grabbing the shear handle causing it to stretch.
Let us know if this works as expected.
