At age 12, your son is probably going through puberty.
That means hormones are being released and his body is going through changes.
A difference in size of testicles is normal, as they are NEVER exactly the same size. (Much like a woman's two breasts are never exactly the same size, but approximately similar.)
If you're talking about the height that the testicle hangs in the scrotum, they are almost never at the same height.
I wouldn't be overly concerned about this at this stage.
Next time the boy is in for a physical exam, you or he can ask the doctor to take a look. Chances are they will have changed somewhat by then. But it probably is just normal development.
If you or he are still concerned, make an appointment.
