Default Headlight problem, please help!

My driver's side headlight isn't fitting right. What I mean is, the lid is catching on the bottom right if your looking at it from the front. Is there a way to move the whole headlight without adjusting the headlights themselves? I know how to adjust the headlights but when they are both aligned properly, the driver's side just doesn't fit right.

P.s. I think the original owner was involved in a minor accident because the back screw bracket on the lid is broken and the turn signal cover is cracked.

The cover its self is somewhat adjustable, There are 4 screws I believe that hold the cover on and is slotted.
