Default 2001 S-type driver-side headlight tilted upwards

So, instead of the drooping headlight issue, the driver side (right side) of my S-type is tilted upwards, as I can see near the top of trees. Having said that, the road in front on both sides is still illuminated. It's got the screws to fix the drooping issue, and the left side is good. Any idea on how I can adjust the right side? Remember that it is tight on that side. Thanks for any suggestions.

Do you have screws on both sides? I’m assuming no. Best guess, either the vertical adjustment has somehow failed and is stuck in a high point or something broke loose and is jamming the lens upward.

I have a video which goes through my findings with my headlamp “excursion”. Will add link here.

Not sure what you meant by 'screws on both sides' but both sides have the drooping screws. Though the driver-side vertical plastic screw looks like it is no longer working (the top looks worn-out and will no longer respond to a Philips screwdriver). Appreciate it if you could send the link. Thanks
