I removed the headlight assemblies from my 240 today, it's an 87 and has the "TV" style single lights. I decided to go with the assemblies rather than just lenses because the old plastic was in pretty bad shape, brittle and rotten, and I figured it would break when I got into it, turned out I was right. I went with aftermarket because, well, I didn't want to have to get a mortgage to pay for OEM Volvo.

The aftermarket assemblies aligned ok with the bolt holes and the headlights look good but the turn signals have about a 3/8 inch gap between the fender and the outer edge of the turn signal. They are tight against the headlight assembly and the screws that attach them to the headlight assembly are down all the way and seated well, no movement. The plastic conical stud that is supposed to fit into the grommet in the fender, on the turn signal, is not going in there very well at all but it is aligned properly. This is both of them BTW.

Question is, the threaded studs with the plastic caps that attach the lenses to the headlight assembly, if I put a pair of pliers on those and draw the headlight frame tighter up, is this the fix to get those turn signals tight against the fender or is this just that I got what I paid for with an aftermarket part? Is there some other way to adjust these, if so I can't see it, those turn signals are fixed and I may be missing something but if so I can't see it. If nothing else I could get a piece of rubber weatherstripping and put it in gap and it should seal it OK and fix the appearance issue but I like things to fit the way they should.
