Replace left headlight need to adjust
There are usually 2 adjustable screws in the casing. They may be the same ones used to attach to the headlight support, but the headlight housing glides along the screw and travels along it to adjust the beam.
If you have anything left of your old unit, look at it. Sometimes the manufacturer provides an extremely small hex shape on the back of the screw. This type can adjust from the rear of the headlight under the hood and you use an extremely small socket to turn it.
There is often a rubber collar on this screw shaft that you can grip with a pair of pliers The rubber collar looks a little like a sink washer. Keep the rubber collar stationary and then turn the shaft and it will adjust.

Most headlights have two adjustment screws. On on top and one on the side. These will be phillips head screws. Usually you would need to turn screw to the right to adjust right or up. Left for left or down.

The adjustment screws/nuts should be located either on the top of the headlamp assembly,
behind the headlamp assembly, or near the frame rail by the radiator
support.
You will have vertical adjustment screws for each independent beam
(separate highs and separate lows, but will be same screw if highs and
lows are the same bulb). You may also have additional horizontal
adjustment screws as well
Park
your car on a level ground 30 feet from a wall and measure the height
from the ground to the bulb and mark on a wall (do this for highs beams
and low beams if the bulbs are separate, if highs and lows are the same
bulb, only do it for the lows)
For Low Beams: If the headlights read VOR, then
aim the brightest part or cutoff part just below the mark on the wall.
If it says VOL or nothing, aim them 2 inches below the mark on the wall.
For High Beams (if separate from low beams): Aim the headlight directly at the line you marked on the wall.

On the inside trim, you can remove screws that are by the door handle, arm rest, under door and side of door and then gently pull back on the panel as there will also be retaining clips attached and you don't want to break them. You'll need to lift the door panel upwards in order to get it off the window ledge. Then you'll need to manipulate the panel and disconnect the door handle linkage from the door handle and disconnect the wiring for your controls and mirror. Then you can remove the bolts securing the mirror onto the door
