I touched up some paint spots on my stairway wall. When looking straight at the touch-ups, it looks blended in well with no obvious patch work. However, when looking at the paint at certain angles, it appears shiny/glossy as seen in the picture. How can I fix this issue? Thanks

My 2 cents...
I had the same issue and the painter told me the best course of action was to paint that one entire wall.
His reasoning was he could get the color very close, but never perfect and there was a good chance my eye would see the touch up. Doing the entire wall fakes your eye into seeing the color as a whole. In my house, my eye can't tell the difference so it was worth the money.
Caveat: Obviously you can't paint one side flat the other gloss, etc.
