Default HID hotspot fix ?

I recently installed new black headlights and when i reinstalled my HIDs I noticed the drivers side is nice and horizontal but the passenger side is more vertical with a more concentrated spot. Anyone have an idea on what I can tweak to fix that because it's really annoying me ? Thanks in advance

Are you using plug n play HID’s in a reflector housing?

The aftermarket headlights are a lot cheaper and their quality may not be the same. That’s probably why you didn’t have the issue with the oem ones.
