headlight assembly misadjusted?

Ive owned the car for 2 years and just noticed that the headlight seems to be out of position vs the fender opening. its sitting too low, like someone sat on the headlight and it moved 1/2" into the fender so its not flush now. anyone know how to remove and re-install the headlight???

Remove the wheel and liner to access the engine airbox for removal. 3 bolts hold it in upward and have aluminum adjustment nuts to set position. You will figure it out with everything out of the way. Although if someone did sit on it, additional damage may have incurred. Bent or broken brackets, hopefully not a broken headlamp.

Thanks
Forgot I posted this awhile ago
Ok
Just looks like I'm missing something that threads through the gray gear like spacer (that rotates too) and pushes the headlight up into the fender opening

how do you put it in.... doesn't look like there is a lot of room to reach anything. just the fender liner removed upfront and that gives enough access?

You need to remove the airbox.
