Headlight aim/trunk trim/workshop manual

Does anyone have access to workshop manual info or direct knowledge? Would like to adjust verticle aim of the headlights on a 2020 GTR. Asked the dealer to check aim and move higher and just got it back and they made them lower. Thanks a lot! Also the car and KW coil overs with adjustment for rebound on top of the shock. Need to access rears and place long adjusters but I can not figure out how to get the flimsy AMG trip piece off from the middle of the trunk. Center is velcro but the sides seem bolted with no access. Do I need to take off all the side trim starting at the C pillars?

Thx.

I've found the headlight aim to be dangerously low on multiple AMGs. The LED lighting is wonderful, just aimed too low. In my experience/calculations, you'd out-drive the lighting/visibility on an unlit road at normal/legal highway speeds. Other adjustments have not been an issue, only the aiming height.

I've cured the fault via a height adjustment (using temporary tape-markings on my garage door) as per this video:

From WIS, here's where the vertical-height adjustment screw is on the GTR's headlights:
