Adjusting the angle of the Headlamps (NOT by using the in-cabin toggle)

Good day fellas.

I recently had my driver side full lens/bulb replaced and it is positioned very far down. I can see the difference from the right light in comparison to the left.

The horizon looks like: __--- when driving at night. Playing around with the toggle does not fix the issue because the bulb (I suppose it's the bulb) is angled so far down. Is there a way to manually level out the bulb to match the right and actually make the left lamp functional?

Thanks.

Ive never noticed that with mine, i will check it out at night. The highbeams are amazing though, when turned on everything in front shines.

It is possible that the bulb is not properly installed.
