With the provided pics above. On screw should be for the horizontal, and one for vertical.

Don't remember what does what. I just used a wall at night time and measured from there.

Are you sure the screw is turning, and that whatever you're using isn't slipping?

Try turning it the opposite direction. One screw, the lower outter screw will make the lense go in and outward as the other tilts up and down. Shouldn't take much to see an adjustment.
