OEM spoiler camera fitment issue

Has anybody had issues with the camera fitment for the oem spoiler? I just installed it today and I can't seem to get the camera flush with the hole on the spoiler. Had my shop install it and they couldn't do it. Plus i can tell it's misaligned because the guidelines on the screen are tilting a bit. We kept trying to readjust it without it looking flush but ended up going home misaligned. I'll be going back to the shop tomorrow.

That is how it sits, it doesn't sit flush in the hole. It is supposed to slightly angled.

Just needs to be realigned then. The guidelines are off. In the following pic u can see that I'm parallel to the curb but the guidelines on the screen aren't.

Now that I opened the image I realized there is a small gap at the bottom, ya it should sit down a little more. With the bolts it should sit correctly, if not I am guessing the bracket is bent or broken.

Had no issue aligning mines when I swap trunks.

U think it's still sitting a bit high? Instead of bringing it to the shop I did it myself. I can't seem to adjust any lower. I'd have to bend the bracket

FWIW, before I had my spoiler removed for paint I never really studied what appeared on the screen. After it was reinstalled I noticed that I could actually see the Infiniti emblem at the bottom of the image. It looked odd to me, but the body guy said it can only go in one way. I decided it was fine. Kinda like it.
As far as the camera goes, mine is not flush but yours seems to have more gap than mine does. My guess is they differ a bit car to car, and coupe to sedan.
Hope it works out.
