Headlight issues...HELP

Alright...so I was changing xenon bulbs the other day and noticed this small issue:


So...I think those are supposed to line up with the thing in the front... However i'm unsure if I bought it like that, or if it happened during the time i've owned it. Any idea on how to solve this?

Thanks!

PS, no laughing at my plastidip job, I was in a rush and didn't think the stuff would work. Turns out -- it did/does/will.

Yes the front silver part is indeed supposed to line up. Other than to say you have something either broken or loose inside the headlight housing I can't offer much help. Disassemble it and look to see what is disconnected/broken if possible.
