Default adjusting brake pedal??

I put on a new power booster and now the plate on the brake pedal does not make contact to the brake switches.
Looks like the brake switches are all the way down and I tested the brakes and the booster is against the firewall.

So can I adjust the pedal or unscrew the pushrod??

Default Power booster

The adjustment is between the power booster and the master cylinder. Its a threaded **** in the power booster that fits into the pocket on the master cylinder rear piston. I missed it the first time I changed a booster also.

Which way do I turn it? And do you have to loosen the retaining nut?

And Thanks!!

Ok, checked the pushrod is set right. How can I adjust the brake pedal to hit the switches?

Yes, but they are already all the way down.
My question is, can the rod from the booster to the pedal be adjusted?
