Is my W2 wrong? Worked in two different states lived in another.

I am a resident of VA, I worked in CA as a non-resident for most of 2021, till about Sept 2021. Then in mid-November went back to the previous company but now based out of NY. I did my taxes and my W2 box 16 seems like it could be off since it implies paying a lot of state taxes to NY.

 

Box 16 is more money in NY (looks like whole time at company) while my CA is only a portion (looks more correct).  Shouldn't my NY #16 be only the 6 week portion of my income. 

 

Example(not real numbers):

Total income 53,000

CA State: 45,000

VA: 51,000

NY: 53,000

 

Shouldn't NY be closer to $8,000?
