Rotating projector inside headlight housing

Wondering if anyone has had the same problem I do. My 09 RDX has the driver-side HID projector rotated a bit counter clockwise, which messes up the cutoff on both sides. I've tried rotating the entire headlight housing (there's a bit of play there if you unscrew the top two screws), but I haven't been able to get the two lights to align.

The adjustment on the headlight itself is only up-down -- and my acura dealer doesn't know how to adjust it CW/CCW. Has anyone had the same problem? Any fixes? Help!

I have the same issue with my TSX, my passenger side is rotated clockwise, I wonder if sticking your hand and grabbing the projector to turn will solve this.

how can you tell if your projector is rotated correctly?
better question, how do you know your projector is rotated incorrectly?

The top image is an example of how my current cut off is, as you can see the passenger side is rotated clockwise a bit which cause the cut off to intersect with the drivers side and it drops off at a angle on the passenger side.

The 2nd image is how the cut off should be.
