Gj tube rotating

I’ve had a GJ tube for about 7 months and have always had issues with it flipping. My doctors have mentioned that my anatomy makes it challenging to position during placement (and stay in place). My current tube has been working well the past few months but I notice that it will rotate on its own depending on my body positioning. When I’m upright (standing/walking) the tube is angled vertically but when I sit or lay down the tube turns 90 degrees so it’s laying horizontally. It naturally turns back and forth between these two throughout the day depending on my movement- I usually don’t notice it at all.
I’m curious if this is normal/something others have experienced? I know they arent supposed to be rotated so it makes me a bit nervous that this is happening on its own accord. It’s never flipped a full 180 and so far seems to be working well so I haven’t questioned it!
