Are front door handles supposed to look like this?

Both my driver's and passenger door handles slant inward toward the door. The slider handle is straight. I'm thinking it's right and the other two are wrong. Is that the case?

are the handles floppy? If they kinda flop back and forth, there is a small spring that fails that keeps the handle tight. My drivers side has been floppy for a couple of years and it flops to the inside like your pic. The window motor just quit so maybe I'll get a spring while I have the panel off.
