HELP !!! I can't get my 06 headlights aimed right

Help please , I'm having a huge amount of trouble aiming my 06 headlights. It seems that no matter what I do they keep pointing left.

I know there are 3 bolts on each headlights to adjust . Two on the side of the engine and one on the outside. So in each headlights i either made the pair push and the single bolt pull or vice versa and no matter what I do there is barely any difference and it got to the point where the glass dome is sitting against the side of the cone housing. Please someone help me out here or give me a tip on how to get this right. Both headlights keep pointing left and I just don't know what i'm doing wrong.

You may have unscrewed them too much and they came off the adjusts, the only way to fix that is to take them apart.

Ok , redlude I must say your thread is a lifesaver. Altough I looked at it once before and knew what i was looking for, only after i took another serious look and started using my garage door as a measuring table as per your diagram did things start to click.

The biggest issue I had thou was that I was trying to align what i now realize to be glare and not the cutoff Z pater, now that I think about it i feel like an idiot, but oh well, live and learn. Luckily no damage is done and everything works. BTW would anyone know how to eliminate the glare from the headlights. I mean I can see fairly clear lines shooting off on the ground at like a 40 degree angle to the left from both headlights (this is the glare i was trying to make face forwards ) . Anyways I'm guessing I would have to take the lights apart and do something serious with them , but out of curiosity ...
