Aren't the US flags displayed behind the president in violation of the flag code?

Often when the president is speaking you will see multiple US flags side behind him. Isn’t this in violation of flag code Section 7c?(”...No person shall display the flag of the United Nations or any other national or international flag equal, above, or in a position of superior prominence or honor to, or in place of, the flag of the United States at any place within the United States or any Territory…”)
If I’m not mistaken, that’s basically saying no one can place a flag (national or international) in a superior position to the US flag. In the picture below, there is a flag that has been placed in a superior position to the US flag (it happens to be another US flag, but still)
Thanks!
