Repierced nostril is now asymmetrical

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing

As of posting this, my new nostril piercing is 5 days which would've been as old as my older nostril piercing, which is a little more than a year old. I've got two externally threaded surgical steel labrets in, and I tend to clean my piercings with saline solution two times a day.

I got one of my nostrils repierced this Tuesday, when I looked in the mirror at the piercing shop it looked alright, but ever since then, I've noticed it looks a bit higher and further back compared to my other nostril.

I'm a bit confused since I got it repierced in the same exact spot that the scar from my nostril was. Although it could be a bit swollen, the piercing hole seems in a completely different spot than where it was previously, as I said, higher and further back.

It's been bugging me a lot since they were perfectly symmetrical before my hole closed... Should I take it out?
