left xenon projector is loose, any ways to put it back in place?

so i found out that the projector xenon is loose in one of my headlight. if you see my pic, the right headlight is perfect, the black ring on the projector is perfect, but the left headlight black ring is projected a bit up as you can see the top black ring is covered by the headlight eye brow

now my left headlight level is way too high as you can see from the beam...

is there any way to fix this? or i am out of luck, and have to buy new headlight?

thanks.

Is it loose loose (light beam shakes and "wonders" under vibration from driving) or is just pointing up? - May be you have a damaged leveling mechanism inside the headlight? Have you tried manual height adjustment screw at the back?

See if you can locate a yellow hex for Allen key per pic here:

the projector came out loose, then i fixed it, but now it's pointing up. i m not sure if it's fixable... i tried adjusting the level, but i don't think it will work if the lens still pointing up, i need to fix the lens so it's pointing at zero degree angle instead of maybe 15-20 degree now
