Default Mk6 Fiesta headlight beam adjusting

Hi all

My Mk6 fiesta failed mot yesterday on insecure headlight and because of this they could not check the beam pattern.It also failed on beam pattern on other side.
I took the car home and the fixing screw was missing from the bottom mounting so i replaced this and all is secure now.
My question is,how do they adjust beam pattern as the headlight is mounted with 3 securing screws which offer no adjustment

there will be two small knobs that the MOT man twists, one goes up and down, the other goes left and right. Look carefully and you will see them. Are they standard headlights?

can't remember off the top of my head but think if you look through a hole on the slam pannel with a torch you will see a plastic screw, i think it's a 7mm allen key.
