Camera Mirror X70 2011

A treelimb and my passenger side mirror made friends the hard way recently; $1,400 later I have a new mirror, housing, "RDS cable", installed at the BMW body shop. The RDS cable is a one-time-only cable for the camera (per the body shop guy, who could not have been more helpful). And, the camera was fine and didn't need to be replaced.

(For those concerned about this price, a) they didn't have to replace the body colored part, and the body shop manager charged me for 1 out of the 3 hours of labor this replacement took). (Don't destroy the side mirrors).

I need some recommendations about the camera in the side mirror just replaced. At the rear of the vehicle, in 'overhead view', the right camera view doesn't exactly line up the parking space line with the tailgate camera like the unaffected driver side does. This isn't off a lot, maybe 4" (considering there's some interesting parallax in this view), but it's not perfect.

So, is this an advanced-user-serviceable issue, or is this an additional cost of this tree limb? And, where do I start? Or, live with it?
