That's weird. It can't be that it doesn't work. Hmm...

Keep my suggestion, shift only the band itself and change the starting point of the for loop like below:

for (int bar = firstBar; bar < Bars - iShift; bar++)

Oops, sorry, I misread you. You want bar shifts.
No need to shift adMa, you should shift the whole band only.
This should be what you're looking for.
adUpBand[bar + iShift] = adMA[bar] + mpl* stdDev;
adDnBand[bar + iShift] = adMA[bar] - mpl * stdDev;

i tried it before but not working !!!

and this what i have done in the previous post these changes i have done but visually after i plot on screen there are differences !!!!

I think the problem in the StDev part but couldnot figure how tofix it .

Ahmed, the best way I think would be to look at other indicators with vertical shift, like Recent Swing High Low. Look how it's done, and implement it similarly (new for loop after the main one, then add the shift to upper and lower band).

Moving average and Donch channel have shift function by bars
but when come to band like bollingerbands it will not work

i modified the BB indicator with shift function it compiled fine but the logic changed because of StDev not shifted ''i think''

How to fix this obstacle
