My front right motor seems to be out of place and I don’t feel as safe to fly as I used to.
Never crashed, only had a birdstrike.

There is a slight change there, should I feel concerned about it or is it good to go?

A few things you could check.
  1. Any physical damage to the motor?
  2. In a hover, does the drone surge in power?
  3. Does the drone fly straight after the bird strike?
  4. Does that motor get any hotter than the others after a flight?

Went for a short flight.
It is all okay, didn't notice anything wrong with it for now.
It goes in a straight line just fine and also the motor temperature seems to be at the same temperature as the others, it's only that slight displacement that concerns me.
 
looks like the motor shaft moved down a bit.. Does it still spin freely?
