Default Drivers headlight wiggles over bumps

I have the RS6 front bumper, not sure if that makes a big difference. I'm a new owner to the car so yes... I'm a n00b.

I did stfa but couldn't think of better keywords than headlight jiggle and wiggle. Seems that the driver side headlight is also aimed a little bit lower than the passenger side. I'm sure there's a way to adjust, any good guides on tightening / adjusting headlights?

Default

did you buy your S6 with the RS6 bumper or did you have it put on?

Check to see if one of the mounting tabs is broken.

Default I had this happen on my C4 S6 and it was due to the adjuster popping out of the socket

I'm not sure if the C5 light is the same or not. My reflector was loose inside the housing and would bounce over bumps or flop up and down under braking/acceleration. I had to remove the housing from the car, pop off the lens and push the adjuster back until it popped back into the socket that retains it.

Default Bumper was already on it. The wiggle is very small, not annoyingly bouncy

thanks for the help guys I'll look into some of those ideas
