Yes they are, and up until my da photo I was wearing that exact one. Only reason I switched to the top being on over was to keep on line with my wings above. Looks more professional and straight to me.

Quoted from AR 670-1 25 MAY 2017, page 242:
"a. Service Ribbons.
(1) Where worn. All personnel may wear ribbons representing decorations, service medals, service ribbons, and training ribbons on the Army service/dress uniform coat and the service uniform shirt. Female personnel may also wear ribbons on the maternity tunic.
(2) How worn. Service ribbons are worn in order of precedence from the wearer’s right to left, in one or more rows, with either no space between rows or 1/8-inch space between rows. No more than four ribbons are worn in any one row. Soldiers will not start a second row unless they are authorized to wear four or more ribbons. The determination of whether three or four ribbons are worn in each row is based upon the size of the coat and the position of the lapel. The first and second rows will contain the same number of ribbons (three or four) before starting a third row. Second and subsequent rows will either contain the same number of ribbons or less than the row below. The top row is centered on the row beneath, or may be aligned to the wearer’s left, whichever presents the best appearance (see fig 20–1).
"The top row is centered on the *row* beneath, or may be aligned to the wearer’s left," (in the case of a single ribbon). This is self-explanatory. Just because something incorrect was sold by Uniform Sales does not in and of itself authorize any variation to the AR.
