Vaccination Injection Site? Help please

My baby had her 12 week vaccinations earlier on this week but the injection site is much further up her thigh and more towards her bum cheek than the 8 week ones - I've tried to upload a pic.

After doing some research I'm concerned that the vaccinations won't have been as effective due to the fact that they were injected into a fatty area (her bum cheek) rather than her thigh muscle where the injections are apparently supposed to go?

Is there anyone on here who can help shed some light on this? Thank you so much.

Sorry if the pic isn't very clear. Hopefully you can see the injection site right next to the nappy.
