Default Why I hate autobody shops!..... a little long, need help!

I got my 2001 back from the shop on Friday after getting the front bumper repainted. The shop has a lifetime warranty and the paint was starting to flake off.

Anyway finally got a chance today to check it out in daylight. Here is my trouble, both headlights, especially the right side are loose to the touch around the fender areas and not aligned correctly to the body lines. One piece lights.

No big deal, pop the screws and get it aligned and set and all is good. Nope I can't seem to get the headlights to be solid. The movement is about 1/4 near the amber side of the light

I am going to work on it again tomorrow, I know the top has the two screws and then the one tab on the side. What else am I missing to make the headlights nice and tight?

Default I think your adjustment screw come off the housing

open the housing up and thread the screw back into the housing.
