Smile Xenon Headlight Not Moving, Set Too Low

I have a 2004 Boxster S.

My car just failed an inspection due to the beam on one side being set too low. Upon examination, I notice the left headlight is not moving on start-up. The right-side headlight moves, adjusts to correct level and appears to be working fine.

I can hear the servo motor whirring on the left side, it's just that the light doesn't move. It appears to be jammed in a low position.

Any ideas?

If this is expensive to correct, is it possible to disable the movement function and leave the headlight set manually? I live in a country where auto-adjust headlights aren't mandatory.

I'm not very technical, so if I need to take it to a dealer, I don't want him selling me the most expensive solution. So any information you can arm me with would be greatly appreciated.
