Default HELP!Right side headlight has the jitters!

Ok,im trying to figure out why is it that when my headlights are in the up position,my right side headlight shakes everytime i hit a bump in the road.the left side doesnt do it,so as i had the headlights popped up,i noticed there is play in the assembly as i pivot it up and down with my hand,now if i do it to the drivers side,its stiff with no play,can SOMEBODY PLEASE tell me what it could possibly be,its driving me crazy,any advice is appreciated,thanks!Is there an adjustment im missing?

It'll take more info. Take the bezel off (3 screws) both sides and compare the two. Shouldn't be too hard to tell where the loose play is.
