adjusting wall mount for minisplit

in THE MAIN WALL

So, about a year or so after I had a mini split installed (honestly I didn't do it), it started dripping water on the left side of the wall unit after ac was turned on. After I put a level on it, it appears to have moved, dropped about 1/2 of an inch on the left side. Is it possible to adjust the bracket without removing the unit and by removing I mean pulling the coolant back into the outdoor unit and disconnecting the lines?. I've tried pushing up on the left side to see if there is any movement of the unit but couldn't move it. Any suggestions?

    If you have enough lineset length, you can usually carefully unhook from the bracket and have a helper hold it in the air while you reposition the bracket.

    If you don't have enough lineset, you can plug the existing drain and move it to the other side (most have drains fittings on both ends of the unit).

    Find a step ladder or something you can set it on (with someone holding it) while the bracket is repositioned.

    Maybe it got bumped and isn't set on the bracket right.

    Also make sure you don't have more than 1 trap in the drain line or it may not drain.
