Passenger side headlight is not installed properly

My friend's passenger headlight is not installed properly.

He found out that there is some space between the headlights and his hood.

His driver side is fine.

Is there anyone know how to fix it ?

or has the same problem.

Here are some pictures he took from his phone.

Please help

Sorry, I do not know how to make the pictures visible that's why I put down the link for them.

somebody helps me out here please ~~

My friend said he put all the screws in the right position and he tight them carefully.

He can't find the reason why the headlight is slightly off ...

Have you ever been in accident before with the car ? usually when the headlights don't fit properly, hood doesn't line up and or the radiator support wasn't installed correctly or its aftermarket.

On our cars our head light has 4 bolts if your standing on the side of the car looking over the hood like your gonnago into the wheel well there's a headlight bolt that goes into the side and the thing it bolts into is weak and sometimes breaks (I see alotta Gs like this) and when you can't make that screw go in it creates that gap so since your scres on the other side its most likely an issue with the bolt closest to that

Thank you for your info.

He is planning on remove the headlights and re-install it again once he gets back to town. I will let him know to be careful with the screw that you mentioned.

Thank you for your help !
