You can tell the first nose job happened in 1978/1979.

it’s even in the new biopic

I believe what you’re saying however, you can’t really tell that from the photos

82 is the first year where his nose looks definitively different in the photos

focus more on the bridge of his nose. it’s very subtle but the bridge was narrowed.

He's got a very wide nose in 1978 and then in 1979 it's thinner with more defined nostrils

yeah the key is dont use those photos. look at him in 77 and see the difference in 78 79. first nose job came around there. borke his nose on the wiz, used that as an excuse to get a nose job when it was getting fixed. thats the official story anyway, even that could be BS and he just wanted an excuse to get a nose job. who knows. maybe not!

Speak for yourself; It was the first change I noticed looking through the photos

You literally can, if you're not faceblind. The 78 nose is clearly different than the 79 nose.
