headlight not lining up correctly

so i took my headlights out to reseal them, and when i put them back they dont seem to line up correctly with the bumper. its like my headlight is sticking out a little further than its supposed too, i tried everything to make it sit flush with the bumper and everything, it kinda boogles my mind lol have anyone had this problem?

WHen you the re-install the headlights, push back and upwards on the headlight while tightning the 2 top bolts for the headlight. I had the same problem.

It's 1 of the 2 problems stated above. My guess is improper reseal. Did you clamp the hell out of it? See below.

Where did you get those clamps?

They would have really helped when I cleared my headlights.

The greenies are from Home Depot, like $1 each, and strong enough to prevent a jailbroken man from obtaining an erection in a room full of swimsuit models. Yay!
