Unhappy headlight stuck after car wash

Hello people,
my headlights moved to right and left whenever i turned (depending on the steering wheel). they used to move a bit to every direction when I turn. I took my car to a car wash. and when I started driving out of it, immediately, the light of adaptive headlights came up on the dashboard. I have no idea what happened. I turned the headlights to manual and automatic but nothing changed and now the headlight on the passenger side is pointing a bit to the left and stuck. Please help me
Thank you so much

Most likely water got into the adaptive control module. I know on pre-lci cars it's an issue. Pull out the unit and see if there's moisture in it, if there is you'll have to get a new one. Hopefully nothing shorted out in the headlight. It's plugged into the bottom of the headlight, a aluminum square with three torx screws.
