I don't think there is a way to adjust how high the headlight raises. Try adjusting the Headlight Assembly Unit.

There is a screw with a plastic head that will limit how far down the light goes down, so you can adjust the entire light assembly to raise to the proper height, then adjust the adjuster screw to make it sit in the right position when down.
