It is very easy to damage the plastic plug and scratch the top cover so BE VERY CAREFUL. After the plug is out you will see a set screw in the middle of an eccentric nut. The set screw adjusts the vertical alignment and the eccentric nut adjusts the horizontal alignment. You may need to fabricate tools to do the adjustments correctly. DO NOT TRY TO BODGE IT WITH THE WRONG TOOLS AND DO NOT APPLY ANY VERTICAL LOAD AGAINST THE ADJUSTERS. Only apply a small amount of force to turn the adjuster and turn the adjusters a small amount at a time.
