I guess the term offside is open to some interpretation. Being in GB the right side head lamp is the one closest to oncoming traffic and aiming errors are likely to result in blinding of on-coming drivers and perhaps ensuing unpleasant hand gestures.

You are so close to the garage door that it is hard to see the light pattern. E code lens set up for H4 bulbs would have a low beam pattern that is low on the right and bends up to the left to illuminate signs. The attached photo is is for a North American E code lens - a GB lens should be the opposite.

Looking at your right beam, is there a chance that the wiring has been altered and that you are actually lighting up the high beam rather than the low beam filament? The high beam pattern is much different than the low beam pattern.
