Default Help! Headlight level on after replacing four struts

I did some search. Some member got the headlight level warning after lowering the sprIng . This is because of the levering sensor is out of position. Does any body know how exactly to adjust the sensor. Picture will be very helpful. Thx

It is actually pretty easy. Look the pictures below. just adjust the joint in red circle back to the position in the 2nd picture. it is 90 degree off. most machanic need to pull downt the RCA when install the strut. The only thing you need is 10mm socket and 15 mins time. I would call this no skill job.

This is very common problem.

I actually have a video coming up next week on my YouTube to fix this (plus a bunch of other issues) on my new Sportcross project car.

Should note I don't have a message on dash and both seem fine. This is the rear one. But it started after I replaced both front struts.
