Helix placement

Many years ago, I got a Helix done by a gun. It never healed and it rejected every piece of jewelry I tried. 2 years passed and it was still painful. I removed the jewelry and let it close. Its been at least 5 years, if not longer since. I just go it redone by a professional piercer a few days ago and I'm just not happy with the placement. I know she couldn't put it where I wanted it because of the scar tissue. It looks like it was pierced underneath where it was originally marked. (Or that might be the old hole idk) Should I have it redone to be higher? Or just let it heal and learn to love it?

I am currently using Neilmed wound wash, pain is minimal. I have a piercing pillow and ordered piercing friendly gaming headphones. The current jewelry is a flat back and will be downsized in 6 weeks.
