Xenon headlight adjustment

Is there a way to adjust the vertical height on the xenon headlights on the B9s? I had some work done (hit and run unfortunately) and my driver's side light is now slightly lower than the passenger side. I can't seem to find any info on an adjustment screw in the owner's manual. After some searching on this forum I'm lead to believe that there should be some sort of auto-leveling feature but that doesn't seem to be the case (at least for my /17 A4 premium.

Any ideas?

The automatic headlight "range control" senses the changes in compression of the suspension front and rear and compensate the angle WITHIN the headlight assembly. It doesn't know that the assembly is misaligned.
