banding advice

Hello just a bit unsure with my 3 day old boer boy re castration.

When I usually do this I can definitely feel the little testicles but this time the sac seems to have a flatish thing in each.  Does this mean the testicles haven't come down yet or can they be different shapes???

You have to do within 7 days of birth, so maybe easier to wait for a couple more. Although he will be a tad more active too... I get mine done when they are under during disbudding, so on day 4 usually and vet dies it for me.
