It's not hard to do but I don't have a reference to give you. Or, as I did, just start sizing up how the system works and you should see how its adjusted.

Looks like a "simple" sideways move but nothing is ever simple...

Have a look here

I didn't watch that video but I never removed anything except the plastic headlight trim piece. I also unlocked the locking mechanism to manually move the headlight assembly by hand.

You can usually get at all of it from underneath, they just show it on the bench so it's easier to see what each adjustment does
