Headlight issue??

Hi all. 
 

The drivers side headlight seems to be pointing straight down to the floor since changing the bulb. I’ve checked everything is back as it was originally, which it looks like it is. 
however I’ve noticed under both headlights a huge gap on the underside of the headlights. Is this normal??

    The bulb is probably fitted upside down.  Surprisingly easy to do.

    Hmm I’ll check that in the morning. 
    What about the gaps between bumper and lens, is it normal? It’s got to be close to 10mm

    Honestly I can't even see a gap there.  I would have to say it is normal from that picture.

    If you look at a Mk6 Fiesta with a saggy bumper, they have huge gaps under the lights.
