Default Washer fluid aim

Just curious, but does anyone know why when i spray washer fluid on the windshield, it almost missed completely, as in the nozzle which it comes out almost misses the windshield, infact it goes right over the windshield onto the sunroof, does anyone know how i could fix this

First you need to drive slow in front of a motorcycle hit the washer and see if it hits him LOL. But seriously try to gently clean it out with a toothpick or a pin. Since they are attached to the hood they can't really get out of alignment they usually just get partially clogged. Kinda like putting your thumb over a hose causing it to shoot off to the side
