Dont know how that happened but it is like that since day 1. so i think the very left headlight might not be aiming to the left from the factory, that is what happens when there are 4 lights on, i would not know where they are aiming at.
I'm insanely familiar with the Adaptive Reflector LED's. They are quite complex reflectors that produce convergent, divergent, and parallel beams. The LED Arrays themselves also have optical lenses over them to manipulate the reflector distribution.

Without sufficient distance, the beam pattern can look very ragged, especially without coding the slightly cleaner ECE pattern when the supporting hardware exists. This makes manual adjustments somewhat difficult. 10m is acceptable, but 25m is preferred for low beam adjustment.
