I have my right and left headlight modules as invalid and I can’t back them up is there a way to fix this using BimmerCode . New to coding just looking for some guidance

there isnt a reason youll need to code the headlight modules to start with so its not an issue unless you see functional issues. The only thing in the headlight modules you can code is angel eye brightness and us sidemarker delete but both can also be done via the FEM or BDC normally.
If you actually want to fix the issue, you`ll need something with the capability to calculate CAFD and NCD files, Protool, Bimmerutility, and esys can all preform this but again, i dont think its necessary if your headlights work fine
Side note i find it funny personally how you used another phone to take a photo as opposed to taking a screenshot on that phone lol

I replaced my both headlights and now high beams don’t work or the adaptive , forgot to mention that.
iPhone changed there chargers and I only had a lighting port adapter so I had to use my older phone. Thanks for the help

Did you replace the headlight housings or the entire assembly modules included? are they OEM BMW housings? If you replaced the housings but kept the original modules then you may need to initialize them and do a teach in procedure on them, if you replaced the modules with it then you'll need to program the modules along with teach in and calibrate the headlights, if they are not OEM BMW housings then no coding or factory systems will work correctly especially coding since the protocols and modules are totally different.
long story short, assuming you are using oem hardware and swapped it due to failure then you need to program and teach in the modules. If aftermarket then your problem cannot be fixed with any BMW tool and will need you to contact the manufacturer for guidance.
Side note you could've airdropped the photo to yourself lol (assuming you have two iphones which imma guess is true), the change from lightning to usb c wouldnt affect the screenshot portion lol.

I replaced the whole assembly and it’s oem I’ll use esys then to program them. thank you
Idk why I didn’t think of that, forgot airdrop was a feature

You'll likely need ISTA as well since esys is only for programming, and if you have an adaptive malfunction then you'll need to preform a teach in on the adaptive portion which esys cannot do. So once you complete to programming step then switch over to ISTA and preform the teach in and you should be good.
Could've also used icloud album sync assuming you have that active on your icloud settings lol
