I read an article on one of the Boxster boards where that person went into depth about the adjustments. I have looked at mine and the little feet seem to be adjustable. I would examine your's and you will probably be able to tell. One caveat though, each foot is adjustable, so therefore, there are many variations. I would keep to the one at a time. I would start with the back one first, since it seems to be a height related problem.

Are you not able to trim your lights normally through the the ports in your trunk.

You need to lightly tighten the tray then fit the headlight and adjust the gaps around the headlight until they are even (and look like the other one). Then carefully remove the headlight and tighten down the tray bolts (only 6 ft-lbs so don't overtighten).
