The long screw is up and down movement. That is the worst design Lexus could have come up with. The whole mechanism is plastic so if you force it too much, the whole thing will brake and lock up. I suggest taking appart the headlight and setting it manually. Once you install it all back use the long screw to fine tune it. You will also know how much adjustability you have once you look inside the headlight assembly.
