Maybe all he needs is some type of calibration (mechanical or software)?

Chris, why don't you try adjusting the manual horizontal adjuster on the passenger headlight to aim more left. Count how many turns you do so that you can return it to the same position later if you have to.

Then see if you have the same problem. Pretty simple check.

Seems to me mechanically all things are working. It aims/moves right, it just gets stuck. It resets to the center so it can move/aim back into position.
this is a good idea to try, only calls for philips screwdriver and attention during adjustment...

worth trying
