Default Rear Tail Light Alignment Specs

I’ve been searching for the specs for aligning the rear tail lights on my 991.1 but have been unsuccessful so far. I put the car back together tonight after some service work and the alignment seems off, up and down. I know this is controlled by the adjustable nuts in the light housing but I’m not sure how the margins should be. I’ve looked and can’t seem to find anything other your dealer can easily perform the alignment. Surely some specs exist on this somewhere. Anyone have any knowledge of the correct adjustments?
Thanks ,

Tom

Line up the bodylines and/or set the panel gaps to be equal all around, then it'll stop looking wrong. As for a spec, not sure. FSM might have it?

Agreed - line up with the body and you'll be fine. I did the same thing and it drove me nuts!!!! until I just lined them up the best i could and boom it looks perfect!

Thanks to both of you for the advice. I’ll play around with it until it looks good. Easy procedure for sure.
