What Needs To Be Done To Treat A Flipping Cath?

I think my port a cath is flipping over. it is very tilted and sticking up on one side. when it was xrayed, they just told me that it has moved a little bit since it was originally placed. It is very hard to access and often takes 2 or 3 times before the nurses can get it right. how do I know when to get concerned?
