Looks like they have developed habit to fold the smart sight like horn on their helmet.Surveillance equipment used by the special operations brigade of the 72nd Group Army. Also note the FAST-style Type-19 helmets.
Unless we see more and more soldiers configuring it like that, this setup is most likely mandated by the brigade or team. We've seen SOF wear their multi-function NOD's like below：

Kestrel Defense will soon be featured in a CCTV report where the company will show off its augmented reality system for infantrymen. The system is called MARS 2.0, with MARS 3.0 currently under development.
The CCTV segment will finally be aired on January 1st, 2023. Some preview images are below.

The individual soldier system has special adaptations for high-altitude environments that include a water purification system and an oxygen generator, so that each soldier on patrol has access to oxygen and fresh water at any time.
Some images of the portable oxygen generators for individual soldiers. These soldiers were on foot patrol at an altitude of 4700 meters.
Couldn't give them a mask with a connector? At least it wouldn't have looked this stupid.Some images of the portable oxygen generators for individual soldiers. These soldiers were on foot patrol at an altitude of 4700 meters.

Oxygen masks are used with pressurized oxygen supplies, with the oxygen either coming from a ventilator or a pressurized oxygen tank. If you're using oxygen masks, you're either too weak/sick to breathe normally on your own, or you're a fighter pilot cruising at 10,000 meters or above.
Then there is the issue of portability. Generators that provide pressurized oxygen supply are way too bulky to be man-portable, and you certainly also don't want to carry an oxygen tank while on foot patrol at 4700 meters.
