headlight issue

I have a 2002 tls with hid. I recently changed out my headlight assembly for both lights and also the bulbs. the bulbs were changed to 6000k . The left light works good but the right light has a reflection in the beam making one area on the road appear alot brighter than the other areas. It is a curved reflection probably off an interior light curvature.

I have changed the height of the lights but not the right to left aiming. Will that fix it or is there another problem?

Make sure the bulb is installed correctly and seated properly

agree-
if you used D2S they dont have the locking detent the factory bulbs have. Its easy to get the bulb installed a little turned and that will mess you up
Remove bulb- noting location of the extenal rod- I believe it goes straight up when correctly installed
Do not twist the bulbs in the socket- straight in and clamp in place
How is the spring clamp that holds the bulb in place?

I had to adjust the height when I replaced entire housing- and a little more side-side adjust wouldnt hurt to set it to my liking

i have taken out and put the bulb with many tries, this did not fix the problem.
I can fully wiggle the bulb in place in all direction moving the length and width of the reflection but it will not disappear

Is there anything else it could be

Me personally like the 4300K or 5000K.
Put out more lights/lumes.
I have the 6000K on my bike and looks too blue for me
