Are there any guides for adjusting the hood front fixing clamps to the screen top rail?

My car had a new red twilfast hood last year by the previous owner, and I notice that there is a small amount of movement between front of hood and screen rail on drivers side which closes if a bit of pressure is applied to the top, other side is fine. It feels as though it needs the clamp to pull it down a fraction tighter, Is there some form of adjustment to clamp or bracket?

The clamp can be adjusted. You have to open a tab inside the clamp then there is a sort of hex nut that you can rotate to tighten or loosen the clamp.

Kind of hard to explain but if play around with the clamp you'll discover it. When I'm next in the car I'll snap a pic
