Default Headlight Panel Adjustment

.
My headlamp panel does sit flush with the hood. It is below the hood at the passenger side to the top left and below the hood lower right.
Is this the e screw for adjusting the panel?

I have the FSM and it just refers to the bracket.

Thanks

Thanks for your response. I just wanted to make sure that I was on the right screw/bolt. I have a habit of turning the wrong one and getting myself in trouble.

If anyone else has some comments, please submit them, like a shortcut or an easy way to adjust the panel.

Antfarmer2, thanks again for your response.

The headlight panel is meant to sit a tiny bit below the hood in the front to prevent rock chips. It also sits a tiny bit above the hood in the rear for the same reason. There are two stops on the mechanism that control this.

This is the headlight closed stop:



This is the headlight open stop:
