This is quite probable. 

That said, the core point is that when scanning  110, these issues are
made more tryng by that format's tiny size and fiddly handling when it
comes to scanning negatives. Not least when the film is no longer
perfectly flat.

This is why in my opinion, it pays to invest the small sum for a
specialized film holder for the purpose rather than trying to wing it
with crude workarounds and bodges.   At the very least, you start off
with the best scan you can get out of it.
