Adjusting TYC WITH HID?

just installed my HID, after doing the custom fitting and so on, took about 4 hours to do everything, now my beam pattern seems kinda funky, i'm not sure what it is, but its not regular, like usually ur supposed to have a direct beam thru the middle of the projector, i'm not getting that?

so i know how to adjust the projector but the screws are in the worse place in the world, can i get to them thru the fenderwall? or will i have to take the whole thing out?

it should look like this but it doesnt

Actually I tried to get to them through my fenderwall and it was impossible on the driverside. The screw was directly behind a large metal thing. I would like to see pics if you can post them of what the inside of your driverside fender wall looks like. I had to take my TYC's off.
