There are two screws on the back of the headlight, top middle & bottom outside (if I remember correctly).
If you play with these you should see a change to the height of the beam. When I did mine I was surprised at how far I had to turn the screws before it had any effect

the manual is wrong. the outer screws adjust the height. the inner ones the direction, but in opposite ways.

They're easier to get to with the inner fairings removed but you should be able to do it without removing anything. You can either use an 8mm spanner or a posi screwdriver.

I have to get bike motd this weekend in northern ireland.. you can set em at the test centre if they arent aligned properly.
Im just not sure which one sets them up and down. Is it the screw with the posi screw / hex head bolt?

All the beam adjuster screws have heads that have both 8mm hex head and  posidrive screw driver slots.  Each headlight has separate adjustment so there are 4 screws in total.

If the headlight mod has not been done then only the left light will need adjusted.  If i remember right the vertical adjustment screws are the ones in the middle.

Worthwhile checking the bulb is properly seated before fiddling with the adjusters
