Proper cloth - men’s dress shirt collar issue

Hi all, hoping for some advice. Had a dress shirt made off proper cloth and you’ll see the collar is “pulling” wide open. You’ll see another dress shirt where the collar sits nicely when the top button is undone. Any tips as to how to get the proper cloth shirt to look more like the second shirt?

For those who are familiar with proper cloth this is a stand up French placket, president collar, non iron fabric. Maybe the stand up placket is messing it up?

Thanks!

You're sure you want the Proper Cloth to look like the other and not the other way around?

Thanks! Wrinkles aside yes. The collar looks messy when worn. It seems like the placket might he the issue
Its probably the collar shape/spring in conjunction with the shape of the stand. It's quite normal for a higher spread collar to "get away" a little bit. Can't say how it looks when worn though, but I don't see it as a problem.
