Default Uneven HIDs w/ AFS

I recently jacked up the front driver side of my car to check out a noise coming from what sounded like the wheel well. Didn't see anything from that, but the next time I started the car, the AFS leveled the lights at different heights... the passenger side light is pointing at the maximum height, while the driver's side is correctly leveled. They were aligned perfectly before.

I checked both AFS sensors and they appear to be fine. Anyone have any ideas about what could be going on?

It's always like this, passenger side points higher. You can adjust it yourself if it really bugs you.

No, it's not always like this.

At 30' I have a good 3-4' of separation between each light's cut-off. It is actually pointing above horizontal plane.

It happens. The instructions to adjust our headlights are in the owner's manual

Usually the driver's side is pointed lower as to not blind oncoming traffic. Mine the driver's side is noticeably pointed lower than passenger side. Dealership adjusted and I'm too lazy to adjust it myself and it doesn't really bother me, I can see fine for the most part.
