Exclamation 2000 Lexus ES300 Driver Side Headlight Adjustment?

OK im having a problem and cannot find any thread with a similar issue. My driver side low beam was pointing too high when i got my Lexus a week ago. My passenger side was normal, it has factory HID's by the way if that helps. So i used a 8mm wrench to lower the driver side and it was lowering till about half way of being almost even with the passenger side. When the bulb twisted to the side inside the headlight (I thought i stripped it OMG!)). I opened the back of the headlight and reinstalled the bulb properly centered with the clip and all. It now sits just a bit low, and i cannot make it rise higher, the bolt that you have to tight or loosen wont move the headlight adjustment. ALSO the worst thing of all, my driver side headlight wont AUTO adjust when i turn on the car, it will beryl move (like a flicker), compare to my passenger side which still auto adjust properly. I know that from looking at both headlights from the outside, you can see the driver side has a gap space of 3/4 compare back, and the passenger has like 1/2 or less back spacing. How do i set the driver side back to normal so it can AUTO adjust? Thanks i have never own a car with auto adjust lights. They are a pain in the a*s lol.
