This is not likely to be corrected: Primaris marines wearing Mk X armour display their chapter heraldry on the left pauldron (except for those serving in the Deathwatch). GW is very strict about stuff like this, so I don't anticipate the "relic" Mk V-VI pauldron to be usable on the left side.

I'm not even sure what pauldron this is meant to represent, since the Mk V and VI pauldrons did not have a raised trim like the Mk X. But GW OK'ed it, so it must be something!

Can we stop with the "It's totally GW guys, clearly they are the one responsible here" every time the devs make a silly choice?

First of all, there never was, and never will be any rules from GW that SOMEHOW primaris couldn't have studded pauldron on the left side. Marines ALWAYS wore their chapter heraldry on that side, even before the primaris so nothing changed here.

Then there is the fact that all paudrons where always meant to be used interchangeably on both sides (something SM2 should really, REALLY allow us to do).

The guy LITERALLY showed you a MKIV unit. Why are you even talking about V and VI?
And anyway, studded pauldrons are not even a specific mark of armour, it's can be done on ANY marks, but the most iconic is the MK V and VI since it was armors used during the heresy, where the need to rely on cheap repairs like molecular bonds was the most pressing, but even to this days it's done on Primaris armors to.

Source?

Literally GW itself.



(notice on the guy even have it on his left shoulder here, on this VERY official MacFarlene model)

You can even see on that cover art of this box a left studded shoulder pad.

In fact you'd have a harder time to find a right than left studden shoulder pad, and the reason is simple: that's usually the shoulder facing the enemy, and thus the one that takes the most damage and require more repair.

So please, never cook again.

Op is right, that shoulder pad should be a left shoulder pad, but honestly there is no reason to not just give us both (or rather we should be able to use any shoudler pad on both sides).
