Default Head lights

I have a 1992 roadster and the headlights were acting funny, so I took them apart and found the motors had just dust in there, no gear or bushings, I replaced them with new metal gears and new bushings and everything went well but now the headlights turn on but don't flip up, I have tried to reset with a disconnection of the battery, and the key starting the engine and have put them up and down manually but they still do not flip up,, the new parts can only go together one way, any suggestions from anyone???

I was thinking the year was a typo.
