Rightmove flag in wrong place

My mother's house has gone on the market but the flag on rightmove is a couple of hundred yards down the road. I wouldn't be too bothered, but there are two flags on top of each other, the other also being a misplaced one by a different estate agent! Worried that people searching the map will think they are the same house and not click my mother's.
Is it worth chasing with the agent or is there some unavoidable reason why flags get misplaced (to do with postcodes?)

Flags online usually go to the centre of the post code.0

How different do the houses look? As a buyer I'm used to having to browse about on the satellite / street view to find the actual house. It's not going to put anyone off.

Be more of a surprise if the flag was in the right place! On the correct road is a bonus 😁3

You can always ask them to correct it - even if it got initially placed in the centre of the postcode, they should be able to tweak it to make it the right spot. There's no official 'right' or 'wrong' here but no harm in asking.

I’ve come across this quite a few times on Rightmove while searching for houses. The flag tells you how many house there are in that area, so you know there are 4 (for example) to look at that spot. I don’t think it will confuse potential viewers. We get quite use to Rightmove.

Very common. Ask them to correct it - easily sorted - agent did it instantly when I pointed out

They've moved it. Took a few days though!1

Completely inaccurate floorplans are another bugbear.
