Meow Meow Kitty Earrings
I love the cat charms--but need help

I decided not to use a long Oval Hoop ear wire. Just did not look good on me, so went with a leverback. My problem--how to keep the cat charm from turning sideways. I used a 5mm jump ring to attach the cat charm to a small segment using a tiger eye bead separated by 4mm gold spacers. I then wire wrapped the segment and attached it to the leverback. What am I doing wrong? My cat heads do not face forward but to the side and sometimes forward for just a moment. Is the 5mm jump ring allowing too much swing? Help
