Grim/Marauder Hitbox is Off-center, Making Melee Combat Difficult

I have noticed after the summer event update that grims, cursed grims, and some phases of the marauder are extremely hard to melee attack. Using F3+B, I noticed that with grims, the grim hitbox is off-center, appearing to the back and to the side as opposed to the center where the skull is. If a player tries to attack the grim by attacking the skull face-on with a sword, the hit does nothing since the attack isn’t actually hitting the grim hitbox. The off-center hitbox can also weaken spirit bow grim shots, but this is much less of an issue compared to almost making meleeing grims impossible.

Cursed grims also have the same off-center hitbox issue, and there are phases of the marauder where the hitbox misplacement seems to result in some melee attacks not actually making contact with the boss. This is especially prominent with the flamethrower attack, where attacking to the side of the boss during this attack no longer actually deals damage like it did prior to the update.

While I am not 100% sure if the marauder hitbox change was done to prevent melee damage completely during that particular phase, the grim issue seems unintentional and has made grims a lot more annoying to deal with, especially in swarms. I am hoping that with this report, the issue can be looked into so players can properly attack grims with melee attacks like they were able to prior.
