another HID problem

my low beams are pretty even but for the high beam my driver side one shoots like 15 ft in the air but my passanger side is fine.

anyone know what I need to do to get the high beams aimed?

its a stock housing btw

unless he doesn't have them in there properly.

I'm pretty sure they're not on there all the way on.

this is probably a retarded question but when you put the bulbs in, do you have to twist them in to place, if so thats what I thought, but after 10-15 min of trying to get the bulbs to twist in I gave up and electrical taped them in to place...
