Question Missing headlamp adj nut/screw?

I had my car at the bodyshop for a front end collison that required the front bumper cover, driver's headlight and fender to be replaced. (Ironically the hood/bonnet was unscathed...shows you just how close I was to avoiding the whole damn thing)

I have noticed the driver's side beam appears a little lower than before. I checked out the procedires on here and it looks like they may have broken the adjustment nut. I don't see anything like what other members have diescribed. Here is a pic. Is this area where the adjustmet nylon nut should be or am I looking in the wrong area???? Also the ledge in the upper left of the photo..is something supposed to be there as well?

Sorry, I only know how to do the HID ones which are self levelling. I'm sure a more knowlegable guy will help you.

Ok I get the idiot award for today. When I was reading the other threads I was looking for a nut like you would put on a bolt NOT the type of nut that is used to adjust these headlamps. It is sitting right on top of the grey plastic finger in the pic ...DUUH!

Been there many times. There should be a 'For God's Sake Delete MY Thread' button.
