Septum piercing is now uneven

Hi,

I got my septum pierced on Saturday. My piercing looked relatively straight when I initially got it pierced. I was told I have a deviated septum and the piercer had said it came out straighter than he thought it would. I was happy with the piercing.

However the next day it suddenly became very uneven. It's just lopsided to the left. It's been uneven for a few days now. Could this just be swelling?

I just spray with nailmed twice a day currently and it's not causing any issues from a healing standpoint. It's titanium grade jewelry, 16 gauge and three days old.

The first photo is how it looks currently and the second photo is the initial piercing.

EDIT: You were right. I just rotated it post shower and it's fine. I'll not touch it from now on even if it looks strange but glad to know the piercing wasn't crooked.
