Fit the rubber seal to the glass,fit the glass into the rim with the Bosch or whatever logo at the bottom,fit the large reflector retainer to the glass and fit the spring clips 3 on each side,then fit the reflector to this with the park lamp globe at the bottom.The adjusting screws should then clip into the 2 rubbers on the reflector and the other rubber fits into the reflector retainer. this mounts the reflector and allows the reflector to pivot as you adjust the light.
