Question How to adjust LED/LCI headlight level?

Does anyone happen to know how to adjust the headlight level/angle on the LED LCI headlights? I know the xenon version of the headlights has an adjustment knob at the top that you can turn, however the LED version does not as far as I can tell (unless it's in the back of the headlight unit and needs to be removed to adjust?)

I adjusted mine since I lowered it, and the auto adjust was still too low.. There is a way to put the headlights in like a “maintenance mode” (hear a series of clicking) so it doesn’t mess with the auto adjusting. I’ll see if I can find the video I used. But once in maintenance mode there is a torx screw to adjust the headlights up or down.

Thank you! Going to give this a shot, although I don't recall seeing any sort of turn screws at the top of each headlight last time I looked

Thanks for the reference image, my LED headlights look a bit different at the top. This is how they look, going to check the highlighted knobs and see if they're accessible without removing the headlight:
