It may not "do" anything. Some head alignment set-ups in my experience have an adjuster on one side, and the other side acts as a pivot, with a spring or rubber block type thing to keep tension in there somewhere. The risk you'd run is snapping the pivot-side screw off from over-tightening. Best to examine a manual, as I am not familiar with this particular unit. Just my two cents, take it for what it's worth.
