Correct shoulder position identification

Many people i know have different shoulder position from left to right even in everyday live ( not only when training ). Is there any test to identify the "correct" position the shoulder should or the deficiency in mobility that is causing this asymmetry ? In fact i cannot even understand how to get my shoulders in the same position in many scenarios ( what muscles to contract etc. ) Is this a thing that is fixed by investing time in mobility and strengthening the shoulder muscles? i currently own handstand one and I feel some progress, but not even understanding what the correct position is , is frustrating.

In handstand your shoulder caps (Deltoid muscles) should be near your ears because your scapula are elevated.
