If the beam is aimed to the extreme up or down position, someone may have tried to adjust it too far, causing the worm gear to jam and pop the bevel gear out. If that's the case, disassembly may be required.

If you want to give a new (used) bevel gear a try, PM me your address and I'll ship one out today as I am already going to the PO to drop off some packages.
I meant glue the bevel gear in place. lol
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, wouldn't be the first time.

Sent you a PM.
