Blender using normal edge decal

JK0309

I got the problem in Blender, when I using Cycles render, the normal edge decal will show the straight shadow (it supposed to be the crack no shadow.), the decal are all one smooth group, no hard edge or seam.
But in the UE5, the problem is gone.
Any way to get rid of the straight shadow on the Blender render? 

First one is UE5, Seconded is Blender.

There was something about this here.. this normal "trick" seems to be fine in EEVEE.. but not in Cycles..

Hi! Don't know if part of the issue, but the color space of the normal map texture sampler is set to "sRBG" (instead of "Non Color")?
