Default Headlight Issues

I've been working on getting the headlights in my 87 working properly for the past few months or so. Seems like one thing happens after another, initially the right wouldn't open but the left functioned perfect. I ended up replacing both gears in each motor and it seemed fine, but now the left drivers side headlight will go up (slightly slower than right) but will get stuck halfway down and need a little "nudge" to convince it to go the rest of the way. Do you guys have any ideas of what I should try?

I've read through every headlight question I can find on here so apologies if its already been answered 10 times over

I forgot to add that it also has what seems to be a grounding issue on the right passenger headlight. I've cleaned both grounds on the frame rails near signal lights and also the main battery ground, left got brighter but no luck with right. I would appreciate anyones advice the car has got me beat rn on what to do
