Passenger side headlight beam wont raise all the way

ever since i changed the bulb on my passenger side the beam does not go as high as the drivers side which still has the OEM bulb in it....im turning the screw and it goes up but it only goes to a certain point then stops....the drivers side on the other hand passes that certain point and DOESNT stop......what could it be??....do you think the bulb is in wrong or could the screw to raise the beam be broken or something please help

my lights were stolen and some asshole installed them for me....i refuse to go back to him, and the stealership wants to charge $40 to aim them "if they can do it" they told me over the phone!

make sure your bulb is inserted properly and tightened al the way into the housing...it doesn't take much to make the beam pattern disperse very much...

If the car hasn't had any body work around that area and you haven't done any DIY to this part of the car, I would almost be certain this is your problem...
