Once you've located it, you can loosen the set screw using a screwdriver and take it off to allow the lever, allowing it to return to its horizontal position. When the handle is in a horizontal position you can put the screws back in place and tighten them so that the handle stays secured to the base plate. You should also consider applying a threadlocking adhesive to the threads of the screw to increase the grip and stop them from becoming loose over time. Drooping lever door handles can be caused by various causes. The most common reason is that the fixings have been over tightened and are putting strain on the bearings of the lever, and causing it to pull against the door's surface. It could also be that the levers have not been operated at the correct angle, which stretches the latch mechanism and stops it from fully springing into operation. The most common reason for spring levers that are not functioning correctly is the spring not being in the correct position on the backplate. To check whether the handle is back to horizontal, simply operate it. If your door handles are loose it is important to identify the issue fast, as this can lead to excessive wear on the screws and possibly to the handle falling off the base plate.
