Default Finished aiming headlights. Did I do it correctly?

I just came back from aiming my headlights. Not sure if I did it right though. Here's what I did:

As you probably know, the beam pattern for projectors start on the left side, then goes up somewhat horizontally and across (in other words, the left side of a beam is lower then the right side):

1. pulled up right to the wall.
2. put tape horizontal on wall aligned with bottom of headlights
3. put tape vertical across the horizontal line, center of each projector (there's an H7 marking right in the middle bottom of housing).
4. backed up 25 feet
5. the left side of beam is a couple of inches lower than the horizontal line I made, while the right side of beam is at or just above the horizontal line
6. The middle of the beam, where it starts going upwards to the right side is aligned with the vertical markings.

Is this correct? I hope I explained myself well enough for you all to understand.
