Could: be a normal variant. Body asymmetry is very common. Though when in doubt evaluation will help for assurance

Shoulders: That are misaligned MAY indicate scoliosis or another skeletal imbalance. Please see your doc for an evaluation or referral. Glad there is no pain. Osteoporosis is also a possibility. Peace and good health.
