The adjuster sits on a ball and socket. Most likely it popped out. You will have to pull the light out and remove the back cover. Look inside the light where the adjuster goes through the housing. If you should be able to see if it's out. Or just wiggle the projector. If it goes up and down than you know that is your problem. Just take a screw driver and lift up on the projector mount underneath where the socket is. It will pop back in

So i fixed the adjuster that was not fun. However now it seems as though the light needs to be adjusted horizontal. Can't get a straight line. Any advice?

I've seen pictures of owners with straight lines when aiming. I would think there has to be a way to fix it?
