According to the regulations the patch should be placed 1/2 inch under the shoulderseam. Your patch is on the right spot !AVI LTHR A-2 with 9AAF shoulder patch
Part 1 of a project for this jacket.
The people I had sew the patch are idiots however, didn't listen to a thing I said, even with photos, tape and guides... They still placed it incorrectly. This is exactly where an AVI comes into its own.
I can live with this, but if this had been done to one of my BKs, Platon Dubow or ELC... Id have gone bananas

Pics are a bit dark... Jacket is not as dark in person.
Patch is higher than I'd like, but its fine. I have tons of WWII pics with shoulder patches that are set high.
