Default Headlight Adjustment screw

While rebuilding the headlights on my 71, I found the adjustment screw in the actuator link loose. Any recommendations on what I can use to keep this bolt from turning? Thanks.

Loose? Normally those are bonded in on the molecular level and people can't get them out
Wipe a little thread sealer on and put it together, the thread sealer won't harden or stick like loctite but will prevent it from vibrating around on anything

And I was thinking blue loctite. Once adjusted you dont want it to move.
