After several unsuccessful attempts over the last week to re-seat the female headlight socket on the headlight tray tower, I went at it one more time.
First, I removed the driver wheel well liner and discovered it's attached with far more fasteners in the bumper cover area than I expected. Once removed, this gave me a view of the item attached to the tower. It also allowed me to see what the mystery cable was attached It was the window washer tube and I saw how to detach it from the tower.
After re-installing the liner, I removed the litronic headlamp unit and then the headlight tray off its base. I was able to pull it a couple of inches forward. While I wasn't able to take off the yellow clip that holds the female socket in the tower, I did manage to re-seat it so the socket didn't move.
Afterward, I went for a two hour test drive around town to see if the low beam would stay on. So far so good. After highway and city street driving with at least five stops at stores along the way, the low beam stayed lit. I was able to see this by watching their reflection in cars ahead of me.
So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I solved the problem
