Default 84 vette. Headlight bezel getting caught on hood

So I took my headlight bezel and the motor out and replace the gears in it. Reassemble it back on the car and when I turn on the light switch the bottom of the bezel is getting caught on the hood and won't open. Is there a left or right adjustment on the headlight brackets? I've tried everything I know to get it to move over to the right. Don't need much

Passenger or Driver's headlight? If it is the passenger's side, check the coolant lines going to the overflow tank. If they have moved a little, the light will hang up.

There is a small about of left/right adjustment on the brackets that hold the assembly....slots rather than holes. But you will not get much.

Loosen bolts and move assembly.
