If if you want to see if adjusting it helps, loosen the neck screws slightly and pull the headstock towards the treble side until the position dots are centred between the G and D strings, then re-tighten.
I would say the problem is more likely to be the ridiculous amount of stagger on the polepieces - the B and G strings will be far too loud compared to the E.

Mine are the Fat 50s and the stagger is far from set to provide an even string response but the stagger is different to yours - the B string one is the lowest of all 6
To my untrained ears they don't sound too bad. I wonder if the choking might be a saddle? I will have another play with it tomorrow night and check everything properly.
If one pickup is noticeably dull on one string, it could be that the polepiece is not properly in contact with the magnet. If the middle pickup sounds OK it’s not an issue with the rest of the guitar.

They're just really not very good pickups, and the best solution is to simply replace them with ones made the proper way.
I should have spotted that originally (my excuse is that I was looking on a phone not a big screen ), the turning marks are visible on the polepiece ends which is the sign of a pickup made this way - they're steel slugs rather than actual magnets.

I mean regarding that video, not the OP. I mean in American Strat pickups.
Frankly, staggered pole pieces are a bloody stupid idea. The stagger on vintage units was to compensate for a wound G string - apart from a few people, VERY few use one these days so combined with modern flatter boards, its just a bad sound IMHO.
All of my Strats have non staggered pole pieces - and I massively prefer it. You can have a 'vintage' sounding pickup without the need for it.
Its also worth mentioning that a lot of classic Strat recordings feature lots of compression to even the sound up... Dire Straits anyone?
Like I say, its not universally desired.
I thought about changing my pickups to evenly spaced ones just through common sense but when I researched it I found out that a lot of people do desire the imbalance, it's not just a mistake by fender.
If you have DAW software, plug in direct and record even picking on each string, three plucks per strings and then compare the wave forms, no chance you will have even string output, but you can adjust the pickup to fix it... well some anyway.
I watched the initial comparison and both sounded good, couldn't really pick a favourite from that.
Then I got distracted replying to a text but still listening to the demos then I suddenly heard that amazing Strat sound I love and it suddenly sounded so good so I skipped back slightly and it was actually him switching to the vintage from the flat that produced that sound.
Two good points he makes in the video are that, first and obviously, it's purely personal preference. The other is that neither really cause a problem with string to string balance, the vintage is less balanced of course but not terribly so by any means.
