Default headlight fitment issue

I had to remove my passenger side headlight and when I put it back in it isn't lined up right. I tried to make sure everything went back in the same as it came out but its about maybe 1/4" too far to the outside and looks weird.

Does anyone know if there is an adjustment to move it over the gaps are the same all the way around or do i just need to loosen the screws and slide it over?

A little more detail......you removed what? The headlight lens assembly? The mechanism(disconnecting the arm from the motor). The painted cover? A pic may help.

Are you saying, you removed the headlight assembly, the headlight lens or the bulb. If you removed the assembly, loosen the five bolts, readjust the assembly and retighten.
