I have 7 awards on my ASUs, I also have a CAB. The CAB is mostly covered by the lapels. I have seen soldiers who will wear something like the Air Assualt Badge inline with the left side of there awards so it can be seen, but they tend to have more awards and have higher stacks. Can I align my CAB to the left with awards with how they are currently set up or do I have to get the AAM aligned to the left as well? I have included a picture of how my ASUs look currently.

Good Afternoon!
After a quick check of DA PAM 670-1 (25 May 2017 edition), your answer is on page 282-3. BLUF: Yes, it should be aligned to the left if the lapel blocks the CAB.
Long answer: "In those instances where the service/dress coat lapel obscures the badges, personnel may wear the badges (or airborne background trimming, if worn beneath the badge) aligned with the left edge of the ribbons or medals (see figs 20–57 and 20–58)."

AR 670-1 and DA Pam 670-1 will be your references. But, if memory serves, you should be allowed to stack them to the left and aligned if they are covered by the lapel.
