I see no mechanism for doing this. Has anyone come up with a way to do this? Does shimming up the bolts that hold the lens and stuff in place do anything? I tried bending it upward but it falls back down. I should have taken some pictures.

I'm pretty sure the outter one adjusts it horizontally and the inner one adjust it vertically.

Tell me about it...sometimes I wish I didn't have fogs at all when it came time to adjust them. I had another member do mine for me cuz I couldn't get it right the first 40 times.

best thing i could find was just using washers to shim it like you mentioned, but it is a royal pain in the nuts. there's not a lot of room to work in there and it will take you a while to get it just right. try to get some thin washers cuz they move the beam a lot more than you think
