Default Headlight bucket lateral adjustment

Need to move the pass side bucket inboard about a 1/64". If I understand correctly the "spacer" with the set screw controls the outboard side shaft. Is the "Y" stop position the control for the inboard side? I need to loosen the "Y" and move it a bit in toward the bucket to pull the bucket more inboard?

Best way to do this is loosen BOTH the outboard collar and Y-stop, wedge the bucket using bondo spreaders, and then snug up (push on) the collar & Y-stop before cinching down to remove any side-to-side slop.

I wish I had seen that technique 2 months ago!
