It happened to me on my old 5 series after replacing the windshield. It turns out the installer put in the wiper arm to high from the bottom of the windshield, resulting to the wiper reaching further to the left. Resolved by adjusting the wiper arm from the pivot area or where it is mounted to. It is a simple trial and error method. I would suggest doing the same and make sure you mark the pivot area so you have a basis when mounting the wiper arm back.
