Default headlight interferance

Been working on my headlights, Vac and or actuator problems, anyway the passenger side headlight is getting hung up on a support rod that cross's it's path going from the inside fender to the center of the front. there is one on each side, the drivers side does not hit it?
is this rod just out of place, do I need to loosen the mounting bolts & "tweak" it's position, and how close should it come to the headlight buckets?

The rod on the "bad" side should match the rod on the "good" side so loosen it and see if you can move it a bit.
