OK. I googled.  Obviously, if it is googleable it must be a thing.  But even so, if the snapper misses the placement of the laces, the holder MUST make the adjustment.  It should happen only very rarely that the laces are not moved out of the way.

Possibly this is a per-team decision. Some teams/kickers may prefer that the holder maintain constant timing and just put the ball down. Rotating the ball while placing it introduces the non-zero chance of dropping it or slowing down the placement. Maybe some teams just decide not to do it, as the lesser of two evils.
