It's 100% adjustable by user. Very likely when replacing them they got bumped? The classic way is you go in a garage or against a wall and shine them, and measure to ensure the horizontal line is going down towards the ground (vs going up and blinding everyone). Not only is it nicer for oncoming traffic, they actually work a lot better...

I typical set the high beams on and aim those straight ahead.

That gives max range for high beams and the low beam down and right (for right drive countries) is then also very close to optimal.

Yah. If you are being flashed it's likely at least 1 degree upward, which is not helping a driver see the road.
