Piercing guilt

Troubleshooting/question existing piercing

So a little back story. My daughter has had her ears pierced twice, both times by needles and at a reputable shop. The first time the holes seemed too far away from her face, but the piercings themselves were perfectly even. She reluctantly took them out after a bit of convincing she agreed she should get them in a better spot especially if she ever wanted a second lobe piercing. After healing and waiting about a year we got them repierced. The piercer thought they should go basically in the same holes as before with one side angled differently because of her ear shape, I agreed and the piercing was done. It's now been eight weeks and she is healing fine. I think the angle makes them definitely look better ( my daughter doesn't see much of a difference) but they are not as even as before. I am having OCD about the unevenness and regrets about removing the first piercing. I know I can't change the past but any advice on how to get through the guilt of making a mistake and now having a not so even piercing? I know in my heart she took the first piercings out because of me.
