I've been doing some chest exercises with the Chest machine, in the gym, however i realized my right chest is getting more bigger then my left, when i do the exercise i feel like i'm doing it evenly, but i guess not?
Do you have any suggestions?

Lee, you may want to try flat bench or incline bench dumbell presses in your routine, this may help isolate both sides and give you a more uniform chest, best of luck.

If you are using a machine then it's a guided movement right? Why not try taking a lot less heavy and do the movement unilateral -one arm pushing at a time.
Here you'll see what size is stronger and you can work it.

Do you mean, work out one at a time with less weights in the machine?

Yes, that is what she means & it should also be benifical to your needs. Either way should work fine.
