Can't find headlight aiming screw for high-beams.

I have a 2009 SH-AWD Tech and have thought for a while the headlights were a little too high.

I did the 25’ headlight aiming guide that I found on line, squared the car perfectly, and marked where my beam center points should go. The L/R low beams were spot on, however both were a bit high. I found only one adjustment screw per side, and lowered the low-beams about 1 inch each.

I then checked the high-beams. The Drivers side one was spot on center, but low. The passenger’s side one was a few inches to the right of center, and equally also low.

Now for my problem, I can’t find any other adjustment points. There are three markings on the engine cover panel for adjustment points, but only one of them has any sort of adjusting mechanism behind it. I pulled off the cover, and searched all around with a flashlight, I can only find one adjustment point. The other odd thing is that I noticed that the high-beams and low-beams both go up and down with the one adjustment point that I can find, so when I lowered the low-beams, I also lowered the high-beams.

Does anyone have any ideas where I can adjust the high-beams separately? And where the R/L adjustment is?

Thanks!
