Default FXLRS Headlight Angle

Hopefully someone can share some knowledge on what angle the FXLRS headlight should be. I recently got a Memphis Shades Road Warrior fairing. To use the fairing, a headlight extension kit has to be added. I did not mark the angle prior to installing (very unfortunate) and now I can’t seem to get the headlight at the right angle. Is there a standard for the headlight position and way to adjust to that position.

Also note that the fairing was difficult to align with the headlight and too much adjustment to the headlight position will require adjusting the fairing which I hope to never do again.

Any help is appreciated.

On my t-sport I set the headlight to the fairing and had no problems.

In the user manual there are the indications to align the headlight.
I made a cross with a tape in the garage (following that indications) since I purchased my first Harley (2013) and use it for all my bikes.
Super easy.
