Default Broken headlight adjusted, possible fix?

So we had a headlight go out on our 04 about a year or so ago, I did not have time to get it changed for my mom. She had the dealership do it, and later on we found out they broke the adjuster on the passenger side and it points right down at the ground...

What I'm wondering is, if you can pull the headlight apart and fix that bit, or is it easier to just put a new headlight in it? We plan on putting HID's in the lows/fogs soon, but need to fix this little issue first. The car sits quite a bit in the garage so I have all the time I need to mess with it.

From experience, just tighten the adjustment screw until the the ball (adjustment screw) snaps back into the socket (headlight assembly).

Screw it in, not out. It needs to be tightened to pop back into the socket.
