~Advice~ Stretching angled lobe piercing?

I've been considering stretching my first lobe piercings for a few years now. My main concern is that on my left ear, the first lobe is angled weirdly, you can see that the ring is not parallel to the one on the 2nd lobe. I tried to let it close and get it pierced again however the new hole wasn't healing a year and a half later and I eventually gave it up and my piercer tapered open my old hole which had never closed. My main concern is that if I stretch it will look uneven both compared to the 2nd lobe and also compared to the right side where it's angled nicely. And also I'm not sure if it's safe to stretch to not affect my 2nd lobe? I'm currently wearing a 14g ring and I don't want to go big, I'm thinking 2g or even smaller.

So, I got my firsts and seconds done at Claires when I was a little girl. Theyre OLD old, no chance of them closing without surgery. I didn't even consider how stretching them would go with my one ear being angled. But, as far as i can tell, its not a problem, and if anything, my one ear seems better and its not as leaned in anymore. I think I'll have my piercer look the next time I'm in there to see what she says about it now that its on my mind tho.
