Right AirPod volume issues

My right AirPod when put in the ear properly can barely be heard even at max volume, but when I rotate it so it faces upward in my ear, I hear from it better but still not as much as the other one. I have properly cleaned it and checked that the balance is right in settings, yet nothing is wrong.
