The top two numbers are cam deviation at idle for banks 1 and 2. The third and fourth numbers are actual cam angles (not the deviations). Both screen shots were taken with the car well warmed up.
The second screen shot was reflecting the "actual" cam angle once the variocam kicked in (rpm over 3000).
I thought that the +/- 6 number we are concerned about is the "cam deviation" not the actual cam angles. (?)

Cam deviations should be between -6/+6. One of yours is outside the range and likely due to a worn variocam pad. At some point, you'll get a check engine light when the deviation becomes higher.

Actual angles look ok, I forget at what RPMs the variocams kick in, but 3000 rpms is in the range.
