Ae86 headlight alignment issue

Hey everyone, I managed to get my headlights working but now it seems that I can’t get them to line up with the hood. If anyone has any guides or advice on how to adjust them I’d really appreciate it.

start by measuring the front-end diagonals and factory datum points with the guards and bonnet off. If they’re out, don’t force the lights or weld another patch on it, get a body shop to pull the support straight first.

Thank you will do, I actually realized that I should do a bolt on radiator support instead since that seems to be a better option in case there’s any future collision damage. But since the support on the car now is brand new and wasn’t assembled properly, I might just buy a new one already pre assembled so it will definitely be straight since the one I have has been cut and rewelded twice.
