Trying to replace headlight assemblies on an 01 XLT. Prior to starting I watched a few YT vids. Looked simple in the videos when the new ones slid right in and locked down. Hah!

The bottom right & left threaded post's black plastic 'nuts' on both of new ones are nowhere near where the old ones are located. See attached pics.

Please, how do I adjust these things??? They just spin on the ball joint when turned. I tried holding the shaft tight with pliers and turning the plastic nut but it wouldn't budge and didn't want to force it.

If it matters, I bought Left & Right TYC 20601400/20601300 CAPA Certified from Rock Auto.

Hope someone can help.

Thanks,

Ken
