Yes I wasn't asking about simple rotation of the image. The image looks like it was taken from somewhere else in space. Like imagine if Hubble was imaging to the right X light years, while Spitzer was to the left X light years. That was my initial perception when I saw the image, but obviously it wasn't something like that. So I was wondering what was going on.
It seems the consensus is it was simply "rotated".

These objects are so far away its impossible to view them from a different "angle". So why does Spitzer's image look like that?

Yes exactly but I wasn't asking about rotation, I just couldn't find a better word than angle for the thing you explained in your first paragraph. However, it appears the image was merely rotated.
