• Wow, booster almost didn't make it down to ASOG. Landed really off centered on the landing deck as indicated by the landing deck circle line. Illustrated with one of @FutureSpaceTourist's screen grab of B1073.13 landing on ASOG.

• Booster off position, or ASOG off position? Not sure we would know how to tell without telemetry and pre-planned position data.
