Default need Help fixing my headlight (AFS)

anyone who's familiar w/ the assembly, plz help.
my passenger side headlight is bouncing up and down whenever i go over bumps. i hit a deep pothole couple nights ago, bent my wheel and i believe that impact is what caused it.
my passenger side headlight was pointing all the way up, reflecting all the road signs, and when i got home, i used a phiilips screwdriver to adjust it. however, something must be loose or broken because i hit a small bump on the road, it's pointing up again, then i hit a next bump, it drops back down and so on.. i think the AFS is working fine, and there's no light flashing. something can be done or am i looking at a new headlight assembly??

I hit a huge hole after winter, Bubble on a tire, rim shaped as an egg, fog light housing destroyed, cd stuck in cd player, and a very same interesting problem broke my projector tabs that hold the projector in the headlight housing. I had the headlight replaced at the dealer, if you bang on top of the headlight you will notice that the projectors moves around freely and if you are under warranty you shouldn't have an issue.
