Cake is leaning a bit. Party is in 6 hours. Will it be ok? Or do I need to do something?

Short version: my cake is leaning a little bit. I don’t mind from the looks standpoint, but I’m curious if I need to worry about whether it will last six hours till the party.

I’m just a mom who likes to get ambitious for birthday cakes. This is only my third tiered cake, and I’ve never had this problem with the earlier ones. I stacked it last night before bed for final decorations. This morning, I noticed a very slight lean. It’s not a huge problem aesthetically. But if you look in the picture, you can see that the top tower is now tilting back somewhat, and I can tell that it has tilted just a little bit from where it was when I went to bed last night. (this is a side view by the way.)

So here’s my question: do I need to worry about this getting worse as the day goes on? Or is it likely that it settled a bit overnight, and will stay as it is? As I say, this is just for my kids birthday, so I don’t mind the lean for the looks of things. But I am worried about whether it’s going to get worse and whether I need to de-stack it. (which will of course mess up some of the decorations) to save it.

Thanks!
