Windshield washer, driver side

Hi,
The washer fluid coming from the driver side is very weak on my 2017 A217 S550 Cab. Is that normal?

Is there a fix? The car is a CPO, so I don't know how it was when new.

Thanks - Jim

Clogged nozzle? I would try thin wire to open the tiny hole.

Thank you. I used dental picks to clean the holes and it worked.
