Pushing on the back of the bulb??? The bulb doesn't (well, isn't supposed to) move in the 2002-2005 Xenon headlights. All that moves is a small shutter in the light path.
Has the new headlight been programmed to the car by a Saab dealer or independent using the Tech 2 tool? This is required. New controllers, even those in new headlight assemblies are all programmed to be "LEFT" headlights, from what I am told, and (I know, sounds dumb to me, too) need to be programmed as "RIGHT".
It could be as simple as this, assuming a brand new assembly was installed. Perhaps even for a used assembly.
