Don't feel bad, I took a big fat gouge out of the wall on the "ER" set my first time working there. Luckily that...

The adjustment for you will be to have the bottom wingnut dialed out (showing threads) with the top one screwed all the way in, which will bring the rig backwards to you. The next question...
