Description

The heat shield's decoupler shroud appears off-place randomly. When switched to another ship and back it appears with different shift - to aft and/or off-center. Or... correctly. It doesn't seem to break anything physically though.

Subject changed from Heat shield's shroud appears with random offset to Shrouds getting random offset

Not only heat shield shroud but also engine shroud can be placed incorrectly.

I've noticed the same thing around engines, most particularly the Wolfhound (the AJ-10 Apollo SPS-type engine in the game.

In the first image, the shroud was completely offset radially from the the rest of the craft by a couple meters. When I staged away the lower stage, it drifted off and eventually disappeared as expected.

In the second image, the shroud was offset from its parent stage both vertically and a bit horizontally. This probe was located beneath the shrouded engine, surrounded by a fairing. After decoupling the shrouded engine from the top of the Clampotron docking port, the shroud stayed connected to the probe by some phantom force or connection. It remained with the probe all the way through entry into Eve's atmosphere, through parachute deployment and splashdown. After quitting the game and jumping to the vessel, the shroud was finally gone.
