Ok. The covers have screws on the sides and back. There are slotted holes, so loosen the appropriate screws, and adjust the cover as needed.

You can also take the covers off. There is a mounting piece that can be adjusted to move the cover around in the hole. There are also platic screws on that piece which can move the cover up and down.

I should have wrote the little plastic adjusters more or less provide spots for the covers to sit on or spots that hold the cover at a certain level. If you can't get a corner to lower you probably need to take the cover off and screw the adjuster in that corner down. If you need to lift one corner then you might need to turn the adjuster up on that corner so it holds it at the level you want.

Pull the 3 screws and the surround and then the 4 screws for the cover and once it's off this should be clear.
