Default windshield washer nozzles

so i recently put some washer fluid in, i dont do it very often because i have a crack in the resevoir but i put some in and noticed that two of the sprayers shoot over my car and the other two shoot off to the sides. does anyone know how i can move them to get it to hit my windshield?

mine are on top of the hood, and according to the service manual, they need "special equipment" to re-aim them. i find that very hard to believe, but maybe one of the tech's will be of more help?

True!

Well for lack of better advice, try wiggling them around and see what happens? they're just washer nozzles, the "specialized equipment" can't be that f*ckin special lol. I've (sadly?) been thinkin about this a lot today and I've only managed to get more questions then answers.

So you've got two washer nozzles on the hood, each with two jets in them, = 4 washer jets. Are the jets individually adjustable within the nozzles? or do you have to just wiggle the nozzles to aim the jets? I thought briefly about suggesting that you stick a paper clip in one of the jets and wiggle it around, maybe try to aim it? But that seems a bit archaic for an Audi lol. Lemme think about it some more, and I'll post when I come up with a better plan

Mines on the hood. Also, to adjust the nozzles them I just use a safety pin.
