Default Quick Vert Question

I noticed the other day that the black part on the outer lid wasn't flush on one side. I know that I had a rattle coming from back there and I know that a bolt wasn't connected to something. I've determined that that bolt is what holds the black part in place. My question is how do I get it back to doing what it's supposed to do?

I'm at work right now (obviously screwing off again!). I keep my top down most of the time (87) so I may be getting this confused with my old C3 vert. I think the male pin that is connected to the top's frame has a slot in it. If you take a large flat blade and screw it clockwise then this should bring the corned closer to the lid.
Uh oh - the boss is watching. Wait - I have no boss! Just hope the IT guys aren't watching too close tonight!
