yeh seems that way to be honest, the inside of the headlight is moving about a fair bit

if i am to take the headlights apart (have done this before with a fair few different cars dont worry lol i know its a pain to reseal.)

is it possible to fix the issue?

Youll need another headlight to fix the issue as the plastics snap - if you can get one for spares, you may have a chance.

But for the sake of 35 quid for a new one, you may as well replace it!
