Match light direction first, then create a soft ground shadow using a multiply layer, blur edges, lower opacity, and adjust perspective so the car sits naturally in the new background..

To fix the shadow on the side of the car in a new background, adjust the lighting and shadow direction to match the scene. Use photo editing software like Photoshop to create a realistic shadow with the brush tool or layer effects. Blur and soften the edges to blend naturally with the surface. Ensure the shadow’s opacity and angle align with the primary light source in the background..

You can also use tools like the dodge and burn brush to blend the shadow seamlessly into the background. For a professional look, consider matching the shadow color to the ambient light of the scene..
