Recutting it will not help and may make it worse.
If there is not to much damage in the hard rays, the fin can regrow.

Thanks for that and hard rays as in the bone area connecting to the fin? My only concern is that the fin just didn't heal back correctly and it stopped there. The only reason why I ask is with predatory fish or let's just say datnoids if the tail or any part of it splits and doesn't grow back it can stay like that. Recutting and extremely good water quality heals it back A1 but of course plecos and other fish are two different kinds of healing is why I asked!
In nature, this type of pleco is constantly attacked by fin-eating fish. I have seen fresh imports that looked much worse than your fish and fully recovered within 6 months. Their ability to recover is much better compared to a lot of other type of fish.
I don't see any scar tissue there that would stop the healing process, but in the second picture it looks like the hard part is cut a little too. So it could be that the fin remains a little shorter overall.

Thanks for the info! I'm going to leave it for now and see how he heals in few months and get back to this post for an update
