It doe's sound like there is a lot of "slop" in the system. Can you move arm by hand to full sweep and usual park position?
If so there can be issues with location of arm on its spindle or with the drive cable itself. Also can be problem with location of drive cable with the motor gear box.

Ok, had a good look. Yes the wipers can be returned to the park position manually, so definitely slack in the system.
Is this likely to be in the rack mechanism or the motor/gearbox ?
My gut feel is the rack mechanism as I can move the drivers side manually 2" before I see the passenger side move.

Probably just the wheel boxes worn. Two new ones and a new cable and you should be fine. Helped my son change his a few months ago in the dark and took less than a couple of hours

Off with the dash top to access the wheel box's. Swapping out the cable at motor end bit of a fiddle but several how two video's on the you tube.
