The curtain panel alredy contain the corner mullion, if you don't wanna see it, open the famiky and get rid of it.

I know that, the problem is that I can't joint the panels is something with the formula in the parameter that I don't know how to fix.

Can't join???
If you want a seamless, just don't put any mullion in between. Maybe i'm not understanding correctly

I need the mullion in the inside part of the joint between glass panels, to be a frame less curtain wall.

In the family for that corner panel w/ mullion, you can add another reference plane outside of the Left at the end of the glass panel. Put a dimension on it and give it a name and make it an instance parameter. Something like End Extension or something like that. Then edit the sketch of the glass extrusion, unlock it from your Left reference plane, and then align and lock it to the new reference plane. Reload it into the project, and set the extension to 1" (half the mullion width) for all instances, and you'll get the result you wanted. The only part not fixed will be the glass at the actual corner itself.

I have the same problem.....but I do not even know where to open the my curtain wall family to edit to become a structurally glazed mullion. I have tried to make a new profile but that doesn't work.

If you are just using system families they cannot be edited. You’ll have to create your curtain panel from the template.

Start here.
