Default Aiming the headlights?

Anyone successfully aimed their stock LED Lariat headlights after a front level?
I'm not understanding the process. I see the place to adjust but I try to turn it with a screwdriver and only with really really hard pressure does it turn but the plastic gears just skip. And if I go any harder the whole thing is gonna bust. Really frustrated.

I did it using a screwdriver. Probably took twice as long.

What do you mean?
I'm trying with a screwdriver and nothing budges. When you turn the adjuster do you see the gears there move?

Use a 3/8 ratchet with 6 to 12 inch extension and an Allen wrench type socket bit that fits the adjustment screw. The long handle of the ratchet helps you gauge how many turns you complete while making adjustments. I did about 2 full rotations with my 5100s set 1.75" lift.

I guess ya'll are missing it... the adjusters on mine don't turn. If you put that much force on them the gear part that you see just skips or it will just plain crack and break if I put anymore muscle to it. So it seems that I've got something that is not working right or frozen. I'll have the dealer look at it.
