dude,
by the time you read this it should have worked itself out. in 24+ years of keeping snakes, i've seen this more than a few times.
small sized prey can definitely contribute to this, as the python may not be able to hold the rodent in it's coil to control it. hence the snake relies more on it mouth to get the prey down, you may see it trying to pin it's prey against something in an effort to align it for optimum pre-swallowing position. it's possible it may have jammed it's jaw during the process.
anyway, should re-align itself, hope it works out quick for you.
peace , ck
