Detailed Answer:
Hello,
First and foremost, please note that body parts like the ears aren't exactly symmetrical in most human being, so a little bit of difference can be ignored. Moreover, try to check both the parents' ears as they can be inherited too.
Secondly, if the ears are functioning fine (the baby needs an ENT check-up for that), all other testing results during pregnancy and after birth is okay, the baby's doing fine then there's nothing to be worried about.

If despite these, you're concerned, then you can discuss with a Plastic surgeon for corrective surgeries (although not necessary, you can certainly opt for it for cosmetic purposes).
Take Care
Regards
