Are HDD palters aligned?

As in, if (in a clean rom and proper equipment yada yada) I rotated one OF TWO platters 30 degrees on its axis, would it be unreadable?

I have access to a clean room and a donor hdd; , and I was going to replace the reading head, but the idiot of me decided to replace the platters instead, but I didn't considered that they might be aligned....

when it hit me I sealed the hdd again and decided to do more research before proceeding....

p.s. the original m/b is fine, I tested it on other hdd (I did swap firmware chip).

Yes. This is why you shouldn't even bother switching them out if there is more than one.

I guess my data is gone even if I do replace the reading head...

If it was only one player, I'd believe you.
Thing about it for a second rotating.. only one.. of two...

The platters are read in parallel, so yes, rotating one of them makes all the data a mess.
