Default Headlight and heat question.

I have a quick question I was trying to make passenger side low beam point a bit to the right because it currently seems like its pointing to the left but I cant figure out if the horizontal adjustment is inside the little hole where you need a 10" Philips head screw driver or if its the one right behind the bulb.
Also another question I have is that when you car is fully warmed up and has been driven for a while where does the gauge pointer rest for you? For me it rests right in the middle between hot and cold. Sorry if I am confusing, I don't know a lot about cars.

I figured out which gear to turn for the horizontal and then after fixing it I went for a little night drive.
On the way i hit a monster pothole and after that i saw like 5 cars pulled over onto the emergency space.
A minute later i notice my driver side headlight is pointing to the sky... sigh.
Now im on a mission to find a 12 inch or longer Philips head screw driver to fix this.....

Every branded car has different specs on where the hot and cold temps stay, but yes.... Mine's is either SLIGHTLY SLIGHTLY below half, or at half.

You are within spec so you're fine.

On another note, OUCH, it sounds like you hit a pothole really bad then, hope everything is good though!

Yeah, your AFS system may have malfunctioned, look for your leveling arms on your driver side fronts and rears.

Some photos should be in this thread for reference:
