I replaced my headlights with the used bending ones and the used ones I received were way of the alignment. They were set too low.
You can go to a shop to align them or simply do it yourself. There are many videos on youtube. Principle is same for types. You have two screws on each headlight. The inners ones are up/ down and outer ones are for L/R.
I'll give this a try, but nothing changed since before this happened physically so I find it hard to believe a physical adjustment is to blame. I'll play with it regardless, thanks.

OrBit code reading will be improved, coming in next update. OrBit doesn't currently pull the codes for some statuses like "failed test" that are useful to have, it will be addressed. It's not all that relevant here to the problem, other than you are needing to use another tool to see all the DTCs that are set. The diagnostic tool does not detect failure, it simply reads the codes that a module reports.
One other thing to consider...have you driven the car? I don't know specifically for this case, just in general when having a problems, after flashing config or other diagnostics, you can spend days trying to figure out what is "wrong" when a short drive will resolve things. Worth a try if you haven't. There are many "conditions" that will exist, but not be re-evaluated and considered "good", until the car is operated. Just in case you haven't already driven the car, that is worth a try as well. That may also bring out any relevant trouble codes as you operate the car, if there is a problem with the headlamp unit leveling (or bending if equipped) faults will be found and DTCs set as the systems operate.
Yep! After every attempt I've driven it. This has been happening for about 1 week and I drive just about every day. I have also specifically been driving at night to test.
Edit, for clarification, I just got done driving 60+ miles after my report last night and the condition is the same. No HCM errors present.
