I don't have a backup camera but that does not look normal to me. If I were in your situation I would take off the trunk lining and see if you can locate the camera and hopefully adjust/push the camera back into place so that it's more "flush" with the hole.

yep that's pushed in too far. It should fit flush with where the inside of the lip begins.

I cant tell definitively but it looks like a spoiler mounted camera. If so you will likely have to remove the spoiler and repair the bracket that holds the camera. You should be able to get to it from underneath the spoiler

So I had a guy look at it. This was the best he could do:

Doesn't appear to be perfectly "flush" but close enough. I guess it's normal for the infiniti sign on the trunk to be visible on the screen when in reverse.

Anyway, just thought I'd share the update. Thanks for the replies.

Still not normal. And what's worse is, it could be leting water in, which could cause you some major headaches. Open it up and figure out why it's not set right. It probably a bent or broken clip.
