Default Flapping headlight!!

I recently upgraded my c5 headlight gears to brass, I followed all instructions, disconnected all power to the car while doing this and made sure both headlights were in closed position and when I attempted turning them on for a test, the one I worked on keeps going up and down several times before finally stopping. Can anyone tell me if they have had this problem in the past and if so, how did you fix it??

Mine does this on the drivers side. I just decided to live with it for the time being. Tried several fixes listed here. I have worked on this at least four times.
