Default Does Half Shaft Boot Orientation Matter

Purchased a set half shafts , during replacement I notice the boots looked different than the ones on the removed shafts. This are supposed to be oem O/H shafts. However the boots look different. The outer boot looks kind of fat and it's really close to the lower shock mount. Maybe has 7/16 clearance.

I'm little concern with the boot thing. Any advise will be greatly appreciated as always.

after the car was on weight on wheels, everything seems to look normal.
