Yes - asymmetry is the design: most men have one testicle hanging lower (usually the left), and slight size differences are equally standard, built into the anatomy.
What matters is change, not symmetry: a new lump, new firmness, new heaviness or dragging ache, or a sudden size difference earns an exam - most causes are benign (cysts, fluid, varicocele), and testicular cancer is highly treatable when caught early. The habit: a monthly feel after a warm shower to learn your baseline.

Common questions
Is it normal for one testicle to hang lower?
Yes - completely normal, and the majority case: most men have one testicle hanging lower than the other, most often the left, and slight size differences between the pair are equally standard. The asymmetry is built in: the testicles develop with different blood-vessel anatomy on each side (the left vein drains differently - which is also why varicoceles, the harmless varicose-vein-type enlargements, favor the left), and hanging at different heights keeps the pair from compressing against each other. What actually matters is CHANGE, not symmetry: a testicle that newly hangs differently, a new firmness, a new lump, a new heaviness or dragging ache, or a sudden size difference is what earns an exam - most causes are benign (cysts, fluid, varicocele), but testicular cancer is highly treatable when caught early, and early is the norm when men get lumps checked promptly. The habit to keep: a monthly feel after a warm shower, learning what YOUR normal feels like - that baseline is what makes change visible.
