Default Bouncing Pop-up Headlight

hey, whenever im driving at night and my headlights are up, the passenger side light bounces whenever i hit a bump, it almost looks like im highbeaming people, and they've let me know that quite often with a highbeam back. Ive looked to see if there were screws or bolts i could tighten but nothing seemed within reach. Did anyone else have this problem? or have any suggestions?

Thanks!

-Aaron

If your car has been hit on that side, part of the headlight mount can break (I guess other things might cause it to break too, but that's just an example). If you remove the plastic shroud, you might be able to see it.
