Default wrong headlight or something else?

Hi guys,
I have issue with my reticently bought 04 Monte Carlo.
I bought it form UK, you know they drive on the right side, so the Driver side headlight sits very strange.
May be they did something with it?
It is not OEM as far as I can tell, the RH light and back lights are made by Autosystems, on this one i cannot find manufacturer.
I also cannot see any signs of any accidents or car been wrecked. It looks really straight.
Can this unknown manufacturer made the headlight so wrong?
See on the pictures what I mean:








I would appreciate any info about it. Here in my country, it is the only Monte Carlo :-)))

Thanks,
Ivo

They may have done some tweaking around to adjust the lights since they do drive on the other side. I know there are adjustment screws, but i dont think they would have that much of an affect.

Does the other side fit properly? It looks to me as though the vehicle was involved in an accident that damaged the front end (gap between bumper cover/fender Uneven parting line between fender and hood). Look at the radiator support where the lights clip into place and see if the area behind the bad light is bent.
