Are the optic nerves in the same position?

My optic nerves are the exact same size, but I'm wondering if it's normal for them to not be ''alligned''. I don't mean size, I just mean one is slightly higher positioned in your eye than the other if that makes sense. For example when you look at left eyes and right eyes next to each other in the retina images, one optic nerve is either lower/higher than the other... normal???

Most of the apparent displacement is due to the camera positioning. But since most eyes are not shaped exactly the same there are differences in position.
