Got adjustable height headlights, but the passengers side is sitting a little low in comparison to the drivers side

how do i bring it up level? think it might be stuck on 3 setting perhaps, doesnt appear to move when you turn the adjuster

You mean you had ones that still worked?
There's a large knurled barrel around the hydraulis cylinder at the headlamp. This turns to provide a limited range of adjustment.
If you cant get them high enough, there's a threaded rod in the middlr of the adjuster. The ball end at the front of the rod has a slot for a cross head screwdriver, but you have to dismantle the headlamp to use this. Try turning the rod by a small pair of grips, staying well away from the portion of thread that is used.
