Default AFS lighting adjustment

Hi all,

I'm sure there's a thread for this somewhere however I was unable to find it, my car recently was hit in a parking lot, and the passenger side headlight broke. I purchased a used one online to install, however, the HID housing is cocked to the right as if the AFS was making a right turn.

Will this self straighten when installed and plugged in on the car, or is there a adjustment I can make beforehand? I tried playing with the adjustment screws however I was only getting vertical adjustment, no horizontal. Feel free to link threads already pertaining to this, like I said I just wasn't able to find any. Pictures included below (ignore the scratches and haziness in the headlight, thats tomorrow's project)


. Thanks in advance!!

Previous owner might have been in an accident in the middle of a turn when all power was lost, thus temporarily leaving the housing clocked to that side.

Hopefully once plugged up, it'll straighten back out OR you can examine the internals for any possible damages now while off the car.
