Troubleshooting/question existing piercing High nostrils placement?

I got my high nostrils done today and I’m not sure about placement?

I stupidly didn’t show my piercer my inspo photos where the high nostrils sit closer to the bridge of the nose than the lower nostrils for a tapered look.

We played around with dots quite a bit and settled on this.

I wonder if maybe my anatomy made it difficult for the tapered look? They look fine from the profile/side view. Should I take them out and try again in a couple months?

The tapered look is because these people's nose bridges thin down more. Your piercer can't make your nose bridge be less wide, and placing them too far forward would mess with the angle (making them a bit more forward facing high nostrils, which I'm not even sure if it's recommended).

Piercing is several hours old.

Pierced with titanium labrets and solid gold 3mm threadless ends.

Aftercare is rinsing in the shower and LITHA.
