How to smooth out or soften harsh lines in footage

Question

Hello!

I was hoping someone could give me some tips on how to smooth out some harsh lines in my after effects composition. I have created a scene from c4d which includes two very angular reflective mirrors reflecting back a moving object. the mirrors have a very harsh edge and light interaction on the floor making the scene look less realistic. because the mirrors are reflecting back the moving object i am finding it tricky to use hacks such as masking and content aware fill. I have attached below an image of what I am trying to eliminate as well as the after effects file.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated!

Unfortunately your project file has no assets so is of no use.

I agree with Shivering Cactus above, that a quick fix would be to simply smear or blur the pixels at the join of the two mirrored planes, using an adjustment layer with a blur of some sort, or wire removal along the edge itself.
