Default headlight only has two bolts holding it? What parts am I missing?

I just bought an '05 audi A4 quattro 1.8 Turbo. I went to adjust the headlights and noticed that they would not adjust properly. Upon removing the headlights I see that they are only held in my two bolts on the top of each headlight. It appears there is supposed to be two lower bolts and maybe some bracket or something? I think the previous owner fixed the front end before selling. I haven't been able to find any exploded diagrams to see what parts I need, thanks for any help.

There should be four in total, the two you have found on top/front, then two bottom/rear on each corner. The rear ones sit in the rubber mount on the headlight and fasten to two anchor points flush with the bottom of the head light. If you have taken the headlight out, then look for the bolt holes ....

I'm pretty sure there is a picture of the fittings on this site showing how to remove the headlights.

there should be a retaining bracket that mounts to the core support that the headlight slides into and the rear bolts on the headlight mount to that plate
