Default Head hung low

After getting my 01 LT, I noticed that my headlights, particularly my drivers side were pointed low. Drivers side is significantly lower but they both also bounce. Upon inspection, I noticed that the 2 top clips for the headlights were installed improperly. No big deal, I popped em off and tried to re-aline the lower tabs into their cuts to put the top clips back on. I know that this vehicle was hit in the front at some point, but you wouldn't be able to tell just looking. The lower tabs don't reach the cuts that are there for them. It looks like the divider they go into was hit and sloped toward the ground ever so slightly. So, my top clips are on now but the bottom tabs are just chillin.

Any thoughts on how to fix this?? I HATE headlight bobble. Hopefully the two top tabs being on right will stop some and I can adjust the rest out.

Thanks

Bump? Upon further inspection, the two tabs on the bottom of the light are broken, so clean I didnt notice it at first. I cant seem to find headlight backing brackets anywhere. Anyone have a lead on a set of these? They seem to be one of the first items to be snagged from the yards. I would love to just replace the backs of the assemblies and save some cash. any input is much appreciated . . . .

After going back to my local u pull it, I walked 10 feet inside the gate and found a front clip laying there for the takings. Ive never found any headlights in the yard, but this one had them. I popped them off and left. 30 bucks. Hell of a deal. Swapped the backs from the yard lights to my lights and they fit snug and are aimed correctly. I also now have a back up pair of lenses and bulbs
