New Headlights Aimed High

I recently have had my headlights replaced by the dealer due to cracks on the inside. They are adaptive xenons. They said they coded them correctly and got them aimed. Now at night it seems like they are aimed way higher than my old ones.

I first noticed this when they are aimed much higher pulling into my garage. I have driven on the highway and local roads and have not been flashed yet but it just seems like they are aimed a lot higher. Completely lights up street signs much further away. It doesn't appear to be shining in cars in front of me coming up on them but does seem like it might be high to oncoming drivers. How can I check that they are properly aimed? I know how to adjust just not sure where they should be adjusted.

If you want to do it yourself... you can google/youtube how to aim headlights.

my 2014 428i the knobs are readily accessible and super easy to adjust. Mine came super low and to the right, and adjusted them myself cause I didnt want to deal with the hassle of making appt, getting loaner etc.
