Default Fog lights aimed incorrectly and cannot adjust each to match

I bought my xB used and the foglights are way off. I have pulled up to about 6 feet away from my garage door to try and aim them properly. The driver side is about 6 inches below the driver headlight which seems really high to me. The passenger side is aimed almost at the ground about 6 feet from the car where I would expect it to be. I have tried adjusting the driver side completely down but it still is about 10 inches higher than the passenger fog light beam and the foglight housing is hitting the bumper so it won't go any lower. I have also tried adjusting the passenger side up to match the driver side to no avail. If anyone has any tips or tricks please let me know. I do know that the AEM intake is hitting the driver side fog light and I am going to modify the filter tomorrow so it doesn't hit anymore to take that variable out of the equation, but I still don't think it will help much. :?

take it back to the dealer so they can adjust them properly, there are a couple of others here in nor*cal that have the same problem.

Maybe the lenses were installed upside down?
Or the bulb itself?
