If you look down at the headlight where the black attaching brace hooks on in the center. For the right headlight look down and to the left of this center brace, standing in front of the car. There's a square black box there with a white plastic "socket screw". To turn that screw you need a long handled 6 mm allen wrench. You can put the wrench doen through a hole in the black brace and engage the white plastic screw.

Turning the screw counter clockwise will elevate the headlight aim, and vice versa.

Once you find that little white screw, below the brace it's easy.

I've been asking and asking. Finally found it.

I hope that explanation was clear. Just take a flashlight and start looking below that black center brace on the headlight.

its just a gear, and there is a hole in the metal frames to stick in a star screwdriver to turn it.

Assuming yours is a 7th gen model, you have to shine your flashlight down through the hole in the metal brace that was mentioned in the posts above. You have to put the allen wrench down through that hole to make the adjustment. Look for the white plastic part. It's kinda hard to see, but you'll find t once you figure out the right angle to look at.
