My headlight aiming

Somebody help me with my headlight aiming.
My friend told me that one of my projector aim lower than the other one.
So, to proof that, i headed my car against the wall and turn the light on, i assume my right headlight aim higher than left side because the line look like this
____/---------center --------------

Is it normal?
So i searched and found some threads about cutoff. If i'm not mistaken, the cutoff only produce by my left headlight. [i'm not really understand about that].
I have some picture with my phone camera. I'll borrow my friend's 10mp camera and take a few shoot tonight.
What do you guys think? should i adjust my headlight?

Both has cutoff, it just overlaps the passenger side. Your aim is too high on left or too low on right.

Basically at a distance of 25ft. The highest point of your lights should be 2~3 inches lower than the height of the projector off the ground.

do you know which one is the 8mm bolts that used to adjust the projector?
I red circled two bolts on the picture. Which one is it? The one on the left or right? or neither of them?
I use a picture from other threads.
