Default Headlight Aim Adjuster Picks Please

Its been so long since i disassembled the headlights that i cannot remember how they are suppose to go together.
If anyone could post some pics of the adjustment mounts for the headlights and the way they are mounted it would be greatly appreciated.
I have an Aim, so please spare me that quote. The depiction is very poor in my book.
I cannot seem to understand how this is suppose to mount to the assembly
thank you in advance

CUT your adjuster the RED LINE.....so the area that has the BLUE hatch lines in it is thrown away. Your adjusters are for a C2...and GM actually cut this section off.

SO...the three angled metal pads is where the actual steel portion of your headlight bucket rests on. So apply a thin film of grease there also. By cutting the extra un needed plastic off of your adjuster...you NOW expose one of those angled metal pads I am referring to..
