    I got my center line a little better on the hitch. Still not 100% happy with it. I really wish the lin s weren't there at all.
    Anyway it was pretty simple. I removed the inter tailgate cover and then the two 10mm bolts that hold the camera on to the tailgate handle.
    There are two small Phillips screws holding the camera into the plastic bracket. I loosened the Phillips screws and shimmed one side with small washers.
    That was it

    Sorry guys.
    After I removed the two 10mm bolts holding in the camera. I shimmed the small Phillips screw ( easiest one to get to) on the bottom.

    Now this is cool. Mine is off too but I just assumed moving the camera would also move the lines too. Thinking the lines were software generated. Are the lines somehow etched or painted on a separate lens?
