Fiesta full beam too high

I have noticed that the headlights are misaligned on my Ford Fiesta. As a result the full beam is too high (illuminating tops of hedges) while the dipped beam is fine. Have you heard of this problem?

Never heard of this before, but suspect that part of the headlight plastic mounting has broken, or that the bulb holder is misaligned.
