These are not randomly assigned but how the compiler works, if you want to have a predictable memory management on it then use a heap or similar and have some checks in your code that boundaries on that memory are not being broken.

That usually means you have a big stack or buffer overflow somewhere in your code.

Try migrating to NCS SDK, I believe they have MPU setups that can tell you some stack overflows for NRF52xxx MCUs.
