The angle isn't adjustable?

All I did when I replace mine was set them so the nozzle looked like it was aimed at the bottom half of the lense and slightly towards the center (left to right wise). They then aim correctly when the jet moves out under use.
If they are still not aimed right get someone else to operate them while you watch from a bit further away so you can see where they are hitting and can then adjust accordingly.
I tried taking a photo for you, but you cant tell where the jets are aimed, sorry.
