Currently Baugé and the old Baugé are the northern bank of Couasnon.
Did the river change its course?

Neither is accurate and both are. The river delayed the English but did not affect the subsequent battle directly so the relevance is questionable. Where the settlements were in relation to the river are even less relevant.

From the point of view of a player,the one on the north bank has a better vision,cuz the other one forces the two sides attack/defend at a 45 degree neckspraining angle.Of course the map can be rotated,but it’ll make the map drawing painful.Perhaps I have some kind of OCD.

Both maps are interpretations, not historical documents. You can draw it however you want. I don't see why it has to be exactly like that.
