Headlight adjustment nut

One of my headlight adjuster screws on my 65 F250 had a locknut on it ... which makes it kinda useless. It ain't like you reach in there with a wrench. LMC sells what looks to be the right nut. P/N 40-0975, but I'm not understanding how it mounts.

I've done a little tappy tappy on the remaining adjusters and with enough force they might come out, but I don't wanna go there. Can someone clue me in?

Here's a pic. You can see the open square hole at about 7 o'clock.

I removed the metal nuts and replaced them with the LMC adjusters, plastic, and it seems to work just fine. Easy to just replace them all.
