Recently i have change the view of my tank and i found that all dirty was hided in the red circle place. No matter how i move the wavemaker it still cant make it right. Please give me some advise i can even buy new wavemaker.

Thats why I love gyres, they can push water down.

Can you angles those powerheads? if you can, angle them to the side of each other, so the water streams don't directly hit each other, let the water flow bounce off the glass on the other side of the tank. (not sure if I explained that correctly)
 
What about moving one wavemaker to the back pane?
i've put live rock in the lift back filter, it might be difficult to moving it to back pane. however, i'll try it tonight, thanks for advise

my wavemaker are jebao slw-20, i think they cant do it. i am wondering if scp-50 would be a good idea?

Ive got a red sea one in each of my tanks and Im happy with them!
 
The Jebao OW series have rotating heads and you can angle them towards the glass or wherever you want.
I don't know how big of a tank.
Some of them move a lot of water.

I have Nero 3s in both my larger and nano . Very adjustable for flow. Jebao is more physically flexible and I’m planning on putting one in my 60 . Maybe try to angle return so that it aims at the trouble spot maybe?

Have you tried moving the one on the right a little closer to the front and lowering it to about half way down the glass.

i haven't think about it. it seems a good idea, will it block the wave when i put it to closer to the front?
 
Two more small Jebao, left and right pointed downwards a bit, alternating flow.
