Crooked Headlights

I have an 06 AT with the sport package. That inluded Xenon headlights. I was in an accident that caused my right headlight to be replaced. I got my car back finally, and noticed looking down the road there is a little angle in the headlights shining down the road. Looks like _________------------------------_____ out in front of me like something is crooked. I only had the car 3 weeks before the accident, and never noticed this before. Please can someone let me know if this is normal, or if they have had similar experience with this and how was it fixed.
thanks

the left side should shine lower. not too sure about the end of the right, but the car is supposed to be self leveling.

My left and right look like this ,20 feet from a wall. Sounds like some adjustment is needed.

Easy, your xenon's should show a "step pattern" is you pointed out above; that is normal. They also direct light a bit more to the right to not blind oncoming traffic.
