Nuance of まま in expressing lack of change


I understand that まま can be used in order to convey that something doesn't
change, or to express lack of change, although in this sentence, I'm not quite
sure what it is trying to convey.

> 目はライフルの照準に合わせたままで、こっちは見ていない。

I have a feeling that まま is being used to convey that the girl doesn't turn to
face the protagonist in this situation, as she is looking down the scope, with
こっちは見ていない being (roughly, I think): so this way/in this direction (due to
this) she hasn't seen me (the protagonist). I'm not too sure, thanks for any
help.
