My flashlight has had a tilted beam every since I got it. It has some cool functions and is real bright so I really don’t wanna buy a new one (it was also kind of expensive) so I was wondering if anyone knows why the beam is at an angle and how to fix it. Photos for reference-thanks!

Hahaha what the heck?? What brand is this? Never seen anything like it.
You forgot the most important thing, show us what the LED emitter looks like. But I can guess that it is not centered. Most LED flashlights should have a centering ring to fix the emitter, but some do not. It is possible that it has been moved by vibration.
Find a way to open the flashlight head and center the LED emitted.
Can’t say I’ve ever come across this lol. Is it a zoomie?
That’s pretty trippy… I’m almost tempted to tell you to leave it for the novelty factor and just recommend you some replacements/upgrades
Most likely the lens of the zoom mechanic isn’t aligned with the led. The bezel may be removable to move the lens. It could also be the led position but I think that’s less likely to move.
That’s wild. I also say keep it for the novelty, probably wouldn’t be super fixable if it’s just a cheap zoom.
Now you have an excuse to buy another!
Zoomies aren’t worth fixing or even re-buying. You can do so much more with a real light
