Your headlight assembly has a vertical adjustment screw. You will need to follow the headlight aiming instructions in the service manual to get them set correctly.

There is horizontal gear right on the medial headlight assey side with Phillips head. Shine light, you'll see it. That is vertical adjustment. Has no horizontal. Adjustment is super easy - stick Phillips screwdriver in and off you go.
