Quick pop-up headlight help?

So I finally got around to replacing my broken drivers side headlamp assembly on the 'bird. I have it installed, and everything, but it seems like I still need to make a few adjustments, because it doesn't seem to align up w/the body perfectly like the other light does. I'm done messing around with it today since it's cold and crappy out, but is it possible I need rescrew/tighten the mounting bolts better? or what about the headlamp adjustment screws? or does that only change the headlamp's aim? Help appreciated!

P.S: I have measured the new assembly, and the dimensions are the same as the old one.

It's been a bit since I've messed with mine but, there are 4 brackets (adjustable) that hold the assembly to the radiator support and the lid itself has a slight bit of adjustment (not much). It's just a matter of taking your time and moving it around until it lines up the way you want it to. It's more a 'body' question than it is 'electronics'.
