in ( in the mirror)

[thedaffodils]

I looked up 'askew' in the Cambridge Dictionary, and I got an example sentence as below.

My hat was askew so I adjusted it in the mirror.

Does 'mirror' always go with 'in'? Can I say 'I adjusted it with the mirror'?

The preposition - in sounds unnatural to the ear of this non-native speaker?

Thanks!

Despite the fact that "on" sounds more ''logic'' (a 2-d object, a surface...) for non-natives, my teacher told me that things are always ''in the mirror''.
