Are you doing it with the steering and the wheels pointed straight ahead? Don't forget they are self aligning, so what I first would do is to start the car, put the low beam on, and make sure the car is pointing straight ahead and the steering wheel is in the same position. Then I'd verify the correct beam aim, switch the car and light off and install the HIDs.

The bulbs only go in one way. I've tried.

Also, the screw to adjust the height is the white knob just above the low beam cap.
