Default Is250 backup camera trajectory issue

I masked off the camera lens for a detail job and after, i notice the lens is picking up the license plate now. I dont remember it doing that before. Can someone confirm if the license plate shows like the one in the picture below? Is there a fix for this? The lens does not appear adjustable physically.

Well, I can tell you right now my camera doesn't display any of the rear bumper of my 2IS. Actually, I wish mine would display at least the rear bumper so I can see how close to things I'm actually getting when backing up.

Mine picks up the tip of my licence plate too. I'll see if I can grab you a pic.

You can kind of see how mine has a little bit of the plate in it too. It's pretty normal.

Mine is exactly how yours shows in the picture. It's better that way because you can see how close something is to the bumper.
