Headlight leaking light from the side

Hi Guys

Noticed that my front left headlight is leaking light on the inner corner when the sidelight/angel eyes are on.
Looking head on, the inner edge has glow so it looks like the frame is lit.

Is it a simple case of taking off the arch liner and pushing the back if the light unit?

Only owned the car since Jan but my question, is access easy?
I dont want to take the bumper off.
 
So to answer my own question - and after finding out the angel eyes are lit by a bulb in a holder I figured the holder isn't seated properly.
So opened up the flap under the arch and fiddled about and yes if I push in, the leaked light goes away, but no matter how many times I refit, there still seems to be a gap.

And now there is misting in the headlight - pretty much instantly after opening the cover.

I hope that goes away, but apart from that, any suggestions?
