It's not side-by-side, but you can open the original and my composite in two tabs and switch between them or put them in two windows side-by-side or just quickly put them side-by-side in an editor.

Should've rotated the Hubble image, not the JWST one, now there's detail lost. But anyways, open the first image (ACS-WFC3IR) for a full comparison.

You want to do your destructive testing on inexpensive test stands and not the actual launch mount that would require lengthy repairs in case of a significant damage, though.
