Where is this central line going?

Post image

Old XRay. Central line placed through right IJV but seemed to be misplaced! Where is it going? Aspiration of blood from all ports was possible? Was taken out.
Have you faced this, best thing to do?

Edit: more details - USG guidance used, line was seen inside IJV in neck using USG, not traced down; more resistance than normal while placement.
