Default 01 A8 Xenon - Headlight up/down won't adjust

I want to lower the xenon-headlights a wee bit but rotating the outer screws (for up/down adjust) does nothing. No effect.
(the inner screws are for left/right adjust).

The auto-leveling works fine. I just want them a tad lower.
I turned the correct screws (those under the rubber covers on the outsides) but nothing at all happens.
I turned 7 times (full rotations) in both directions from the initial point but it almost seems like those screws are not connected to anything at all (i feel a normal resistance though).

I adjusted headlights on many cars but this is the first time that nothing responds to me screwing around (pun intented).

Ah i see. I don't have VAG-COM and tried to aim the lights manually. They need to be prepared first.
