Headlamps pointing down after hitting a pothole

W213 2016 220D

Would anybody have the schematics of mechanical parts that are doing the headlamp levelling?

After hitting a pothole, they are pointing downwards and I want to have a look, if by any chance it's not an easy fix, before taking it to the dealer.
It was the left side that went into the pothole.

Thank you.

Just to keep you updated......

Took it to dealer the do the check.
The part above is actually intact, but the front suspension is gone, nearly every part.
Wheels are buckled.
Headlamp bracket broken.

This is not what I wanted to hear.......
