Diagonal seating?

Our room is configured such that the listening position has to be on a diagonal in relationship to the speakers. I try to turn my head so my ears are square to the speakers, but often I am listening while I’m doing something that needs my attention centered. It’s difficult for me to ascertain how much this affects the sound. I have noticed the soundstage is uneven unless I do something to compensate. I don’t know whether this is because of variable hearing from one ear to other since I am now 70 years old or it has something to do with the diagonal configuration.

Any thoughts?

I tend to not be so anal about seating and positioning, but then I use speakers that are somewhat forgiving as they are time and phase aligned.

So, if your 'distracted' listening moments sound good, I would leave well enough alone.
