That was fixed during the reconstruction, her funnels were arrenged similarly to Akagi's afterwards.

Also Akagi/Hiryu's island placement caused turbulences during both take-off and landing. Shokaku class were initially going to be built with the island in the same position, but it was later moved to starboard like Kaga/Soryu while they were already being built when the issue was discovered. Hangar size was somewhat reduced, which meant losing one plane compared to the original plan.
