Your driver's side headlight is too low...the bottom of the step should be level w/passenger's side.

That's what I think too. Perhaps the high beam bulb isn't seated properly?

Default You need to find a flatter bigger wall, and be farther away from it.

Also, it is critical that you are exactly perpendicular to the wall, or else the aims will be totally off, especially the left/right aim.
