Helix Projector Headlights

I recently bought a pair of the Helix/DEPO headlights from ECS, and I'm having an issue with the aiming. When the low beam (projectors) are lined up, the high beams are not. Their website has a photo of how it should look, but I am not getting that. I attached a photo that's a bit hard to see, but the LH high beam is about where it should be and the RH high beam is far too low. I don't see any way that the low and high beams can be aimed independently, but I'm hoping I'm just missing something. The headlights do not come with instructions. It seems these are decently popular, so I'm hoping someone else has had this issue. If they can't be adjusted, I may just have to return them because they're pretty badly misaligned.

Thanks y'all!

I just bought the last "scratch and dent" they had listed and they looked totally fine to me once I installed them. One of the plugs was messed up but easy to fix. They were however aimed severely low, like straight down right off the front bumper. The adjustment screw on the inside (closest to engine) was what I needed to get things leveled out and now I can see down the road. I haven't even bothered with the high beams, assuming they were in order. I hardly ever use them though.
