Default Back up Camera problems.

So i had my Lexus rx350 2016 for about 2 months and today i noticed my back up camera is off. I'm not sure what caused it but maybe someone else can give me an idea. I'm pretty sure it wasn't like this and i shouldn't be able to see my plates. I posted a picture
Thanks in advance!

You can see the camera on the rear hatch - check to see if something didn't knock it out of position... Though I have never seen that.

Yes, the normal aim is to include an edge of the plate and bumper
to serve as a reference when judging your location.

I can see my license plate through the camera on my IS, my GS, and my '13 RX. Based on those, this looks normal to me.

Looks ok to me. How else would you want it aimed. I have to back up to my jet ski trailer all the time and I can put the 2" ball right under the hitch cup right by the rear bumper.

Did you have the permanent plates on then?

Mine is similar so I would not worry about it.

Really never took notice to the license plate...til now. Mine shows too but I'm more focused on where I'm backing my car into rather than the license plate.

Can we actually change the angle of the camera? I tried wiggling it back and forth to rotate it but it didn't seem to be able to be moved. Did I use too little force or it simply can't be physically adjusted?

It is not made to move. The angle was all done in manufacturing.

When I look at the OP image, it looks perfectly aimed to me.

I don't see my plates at all just a tiny bit of the bumper.
