3rd Gen projector aiming?

Ok guys I read that to aim the third gen projectors the knobs are on the bottom of the lights. The problem I have is I don't remember seeing knobs on the bottom. So I'm hoping that you guys can give me some advice where they are and which one adjusts the low beams up and down cause the lights are straight, they are just uneven. Thanks in advance for any help.

Edit: I forgot to show which projectors I got lol heres the link.

There are no knobs on the bottom, the adjustment screws are on the back of the housing, I think there's three for the lowbeam and two for the highbeam, or vice versa, not sure anymore it's been a while since I installed mine. I don't remember which direction does what, I just did the trial and error method to figure it out then went from there.

they are not on the bottom man is that a relief. I know that there are four bolts on the back of the low beams so I guess I'll try those and see what happens.

No it's the one you see under the word "black wires." There is also one on the other side and you have to turn them both equally.

hmmm looks like I'll have to loosen the lights to get to the one on the other side. Next question will I be able to turn it with just my fingers?
