Hie, position of the retainer is totally normal.. it’s there where it has to be.. since that’s the point where we need to put the pressure to be maintained ..

Hey there. The retainers seem fine. Maybe while tightening the loop, the bow haa gone a bit incisally. It can still be adjusted if it is not touching the tooth, or is becoming loose. Just needs to be done by the orthodontist only.
Next Steps
contact your orthodontist. do not do anything by your own.
Health Tips
do not try to adjust by yourself
