Heres a screen cap that's as early in the hit as the video showed:



Based on this, it looks like Aulie's trajectory was lining up with the centre of Stajan's body, not his shoulder, making contact with the head highly probable.

Regarding Stajan's movement, if Aulie had been targeting the shoulder, any dipping or leaning by Stajan would have moved Stajan's head further from the target area, not into it. I.e Aulie would have hit more of Stajan's back and less of his shoulder.
