In this study, we present our latest findings regarding azimuthal distributions in vector boson + jets and multi-jet production at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). These findings result from matching next-to-leading order (NLO) perturbative matrix elements with transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton branching. We conduct a comprehensive comparative analysis of azimuthal correlations between Z boson-jet and jet-jet systems in the back-to-back region. These distinct azimuthal correlation patterns can help identify potential factorization-breaking effects in this region. Such effects depend on the different color and spin structures of the final states and their interactions with the initial states.
