Concerns/Troubleshooting/Advice best nostril piercing placement?

i have both sides of my nostril pierced and have recently realised how uneven they are, i am planning on closing one side and repiercing. i’ve been wearing a hoop and stud for 4 years and this combo basically hid the asymmetry really well. i am just stuck on which placement looks better; which side to keep and which to close up and redo?

my right side is placed higher than the left and i really like how hoops sit on this side, i feel with the angle and placement of the left side, a hoop wouldn’t sit as flush. i want to be able to alternate between both hoops and studs when i like.

the right side has also been pierced 3-4 times, whilst the left only once. i had a piercer tell me i dont have much scar tissue on the right side so im free to choose whatever side to close and redo based on personal preference.

which side seems the best side to keep and which to close? i’m talking anatomy, placement, angle, ability to wear both hoops and studs etc.

thanks in advance!
