Default Adjust headlight beam up or down?

My passenger side headlight had condensation in it and i brought it to the dealer to get replaced. They replaced the headlight assembly and my headlight shined onto the ground. I brought it back and they raised it up, in about 10 mins, but it is still not high enough. Im tired of going back and forth to the dealer, can anyone help me so that i could raise the beam by myself? thanks

The vertical headlight adjustment is made with a 6mm allen wrench inserted into the larger of the 2 holes located next to the strut attachment point of the strut that holds the hood up.
