Default Unstable headlight

I currently own a 2016 Stingray LT3. While driving at night on some sub-par roads that the South offers, I noticed the passenger side headlight beam bouncing quite a bit in comparison to the driver's side. When I checked the headlight housing, it seems to be secure however. Before I mess something up, I wanted to ask if anyone has had this issue and is tightening the headlight housing the general fix or could it be the internal of the housing that are in fact lose? I'm guessing I'd have to remove the front bumper to even access the points at which I would be able to tighten. Thanks for any advice or help that you can offer.

Is your car still under warranty by chance or under an extended warranty? If so, might be worth a trip to the dealer. I have not seen posts with this problem, but that’s not saying other haven’t experienced it. Will be interesting to find out what the cause is.

Isn't there a "Shutter" in front of the headlight? I think it moves up and down to switch between low and high beams. The dealer would be my choice for a fix. The nose must come off to work on the headlight pod so prepare yourself for a little "labor" shock.
