Should Sandtrooper ears be at the same angle?

Hi, Recently bought an assembled Sandtrooper helmet, I have found that the ears are at a very different angle making the rectangular shaped ear segments very different on both sides and very noticeable. Is this still movie accurate or 501st acceptable?

From what I remember, one ear is generally trickier to get to fit on the naturally asymmetrical shape of the face.  I think you will find a lot of people's ears will have a slight different angle on them in order to get the ear nice and flush to the helmet.

 

That difference does look pretty substantial though... You could easily undo the screws and twist the one ear farther to make it a little more level and then drill new holes (the old holes should be covered by the ear so its no big deal). This ofcourse will most likely require you to do some sanding on the ear so its new position sits flush.

Okay thanks for the advice.

There are some sandtrooper helmets in this gallery you can compare with, and decide for yourself.
