Something Wrong w/ Backup Cam?

So I just got my car back from the dealer, who was fixing a few things that I’ve mentioned in other threads. When I put the car in reverse to park it, I noticed the rear camera looks...different. I can’t say exactly how because I can’t remember the way it looked before exactly, but it seems the frame is much more full of the side of the license plate well. And I don’t remember the license plate being visible on the right. It used to have a much better view...I think.

I checked the camera and there’s nothing obviously wrong with it, but maybe it’s in a different position? One of the things they did was realign the hatch so maybe they removed the camera and put it back in the wrong place or at the wrong angle?

Point is; does this look right to you? (Note this is Tech model.)

Why did the wrenchies at the dealership sneak that change on ya? Were they messing with your head? I would be suspicious of that. Can’t be too careful in this world.

They were - per another thread, my head unit glitched and I lost access to CarPlay, and they said they applied a hard reset (harder than the one I applied?) and fixed the problem. They did not fix the problem, I think, but I believe they did clear some of the settings on the car. The backup cam was one (which I think I adjusted when I first got the car and haven't touched in a year) and I think my memory seat locations were lost as well. Probably some other things I haven't yet discovered yet too.

If they did a hard reset, all your saved settings were wiped. That fisheye picture is the factory default.

Well of course you are, after all, you spell your name wrong, it should be Weatherman, or even better Weather-non-binary-person.

Well it’s supposed to be wætherman, but I think that wasn’t possible when I signed up. And no, I’m totally binary, thanks. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

This is essentially the state motto of New York. Everyone from New York has been raised to add this to the end of every sentence.
