The MOT beam check is pretty cursory in my experience.
First of all, yours will have motors for load adjustment, they are controlled by a sensor on the rear axle (differential). There are then some "proper" manual adjusters on the light housings themselves.
There was no science in the video. The laser level was simply lodged on the steel bumper next to the lights and shows me on the garage door where "level" is. Then I adjusted the light pattern just below the line.
In the picture of your headlamp unit the adjusters are the white nylon/aluminium wheels and the leveling motor is part of the adjuster bottom left. For beam height adjustment it is the manual adjuster on the motor you want to use.
