headlight gap

Just got my headlights replaced but the new ones seem to be rubbing against the body. There is space on the bottom of the passenger headlight but as you move up, half way thru the light it gets so close to the body that I couldn't even slide the piece of paper in the gap. Previous lights were rubbing at the top and wore off the paint. Now seems even worse.
Anybody got any close ups of the headlights?

Dealer did the recall of the head lights and now they tell me that they cannot ajust it better cause it only goes in one way. Bunch of crap I showed them other side and asked why this one fits better but they still are giving me run around.

The dealerships are worthless for aligning panels since they aren't a bodyshop. Fix it yourself, and check your cutoff alignment because I'll bet its off too.

the cutoff seems messed up (dual cutoff lines one darker one lighter) and it seems lower on that side. the gaps missed aligned and the light is rubbing the paint on the car and the new install for the lex shield or the 3m looks uneven there is more than half an inch of light fixture exposed.
I wish i had never agreed to this, but than again I hadn't much choice since they did it without my knowledge. Nobody even called me to let me know that they will be replacing headlights.
