Xenon Headlight Issue

I have recently had my Adaptive Xenon Headlights Joey Modded by a third party.

Today I have noticed the issue with the lens surround on the right side headlight. It is further out compared to the left side.

The adaptive function still appears to work.

How can I fix this?

Looks like its seated correctly back in the housing. Pull the light out and open the back panel (for changing the bulbs). measure each side. Something was not reassembled correctly.

I've found a problem, whether it is the cause of the problem shown above is yet to be determined.

“Flummoxed”?! They were re-assembled wrong! Not sure how much you paid for that task, but it seems like way too much, or not enough. Whoever did that work should be ashamed for his lack of quality.

It's not attached to the motor or something on one side (that operates the up and down movement). Even though it does move up and down when the lights are turned on.

I paid £115 and the light is getting sent back to him to sort out.
