Asking for favor to those with triple beam headlights specifically 2015-2017, if you can snap a pic of your cut off lines?
I don’t recall having 2 cut off lines from the driver side headlight…as you can see below one is off center and lower. It should be align and the same height

you can adjust the beam level under the hood, use philips screw driver, you see a slot that it can slide down and lets you adjust the height, just dont go too high and blind the crap out other drivers.

I’m aware of the up/down adjustments however my issue is not about that…unless there’s a way to adjust the middle led from the driver side only.
The pic above is solely from the driver’s headlight
@Rjngo - The following displays the typical headlight cutoff design characteristic, regardless of lighting type source or design.
Additionally, vehicles destined for countries that drive on the right side of the road such as the U.S. (with steering wheel on left side of cabin) the drivers side headlight is designed to cast its light beam lower so as not to blind oncoming drivers, whereas the passenger side headlight is designed to cast its light beam a little higher. Euro countries have a different set of standards, which carmakers abide by.
@Rjngo - I think you're making too much of the 'two lines' instead of just one line that you seem to expect to see. It may be projected by the headlight's outer lens cover.
The headlight's lens cover being in front of (beyond) the light source will oftentimes project a 'reflected ray' (i.e. casting two lines of light) in addition to the 'incident ray', with the lens cover thickness defining the extent or magnitude of the 'reflected ray'.
If you are inclined to do so - you might want to research in physics; 'Law of Reflection'
with emphasis to learn how the thickness of your headlight lens cover might affect the projection of light through it.
The two videos above are the best examples I could find on YouTube of what you're asking for. (Watching in 1080p) I can see the drivers side beam pattern appears to have multiple cutoff lines, just the same as the picture you provided.
The variation in cutoff is more noticeable because the vehicles are very close to the wall. Each beam originates from a different height/angle on the vehicle - which will be more evident the closer the vehicle is to an obstacle.
I can't tell how close you are to the wall in your picture.
Thank you so much. How did you even find a random video of an NX for sale with content showing the headlamps projecting on a wall…what a coincidence?!?!
