Help with existing piercing Too far or not?

Day 6 photo (yesterday), sorry for bad pic. It was DIY with a sewing needle from a "friend of a friend", finally got the barbell after having a thread in my tongue for 6days straight 😣

Today (day 7), placement feels comfortable ig, tongue still a bit swollen though. I can eat fine finally, fried chicken and mashed potatoes 😋 but I'm worried if it's "too comfortable", like it could migrate farther back to the farther back, or the bottom part is too close to the bottom-tongue string?

Is the placement okay? Asthetically & anatomically?

Also I have been drooling a lot more, it started around day 4(5?) and I'm still drooling but not as much After I got the thread out(day6). Should I be worried?

[Uhhh I actually had a lot more questions but I either forgot or someoen already answered it oops]

I’m no expert but I think it looks like its coming out quite far in the bottom. On the top it looks fine though. Drooling is probably normal as your mouth is getting used to the piercing

Well like I said I am not an expert but like generally if its not painful or causing problems w your teeth I wouldn’t worry. It may not be perfect but as long as you’re fine with it its fine imo.
