If that picture is from your car, my eyes need calibration more than your cameras do.

Yes, the picture is from the car. The right one is ok. The left has issues. But, so do I! However, I don’t know if it’s worth changing out the grill.

I recently had my camera replaced under warranty and my advice is if you take it to a dealer, DO NOT allow a mechanic to remove and replace that front clip. Ask to have someone in their body shop who is familiar to remove and install them do it. Mine was damaged by a low grade mechanic which resulted in a complete front clip replacement and repaint. That little camera combined with a lousy mechanic caused all kinds of problems that you don’t want to deal with.

Next time mine goes on the fritz I’m doing it myself. Never again will I allow a mechanic to do any kind of body work on my car.
