Yes, they can be.
They are screwed into the metal and poke through the hole in the trim.
You can then screw? the outer body uo/down by hand. It is trial and error.


You have to release the centre pin before adjusting because the spring loaded pin is what does the work.
I didn't understand this bit and thought that I had wasted my time and money until a clever young smartass pointed it out to me.
I only remembered about the adjustment when reading this thread last night, so went out and tried it. Eureka it worked.


It does make the release a bit noisy late at night, but it works.



Good luck with it.
