Anyone have a fix for deployant clasp sticking out?

Would love if this could sit more flat (perpendicular) to my wrist rather than sticking out. Maybe just need a new strap? Or anything else I can do to fix?
Hmm.... that's strange. I think the reason for the deployant clasp being not "flat" is because the strap at 12hr position is too long, hence pushing the clasp forwards and opening it up.

Hence a shorter strap (at least at the 12hr side) should be helpful. Perhaps a visit to the PP service center will be helpful? The staff there should know better on this issue.
On second thought, I have got it wrong. It should be the 6hr strap holding the deployant clasp. Hence the strap is probably too short and therefore pulling the clasp and open it up??

Anyway, probably better seek advice from PP service center.
i suggest you to change the direction of the strap

Wear your watch with the crown in direction of your shoulder and you will see if the fact to change the 2 lugs fixations will resolve your feeling ;-))
Whichever the problem with your clasp, I'd suggest a quick visit to any AD in your area (there are some) with at least one asterisk on Patek's official site, listed as "Quick service centers"...Hopefully that will quickly solve the issue.
Replace the folding clasp with a pin buckle. Then follow tradition and attach the buckle side to the 12.00 lug. If the strap is too long, order another. Whatever, enjoy the process.
