That is the right way round but I think that your main beam may have the wrong bulb type or may be fitted incorrectly, as the beam pattern uses a reflector in the housing to focus the light.
If the bulb isn't fitted correctly or it's the wrong type, it may have shifted that focus and that's why it's not pointing in the right direction.
On my 748 (MY2000) the bulb is an H4 for the main beam, but check your owners manual just in case your 916 uses a different bulb and that's why it's not working right!

than screaming in terror like his passengers.- Jim Harkins
