Question regarding Meanwell type "A" drivers

Hiya folks

This may seem like a really silly question, but isn't there supposed to be a screw under the rubber protection for adjusting Io and Voltage? When i take off the rubber, it's a few centimeters deep and then there's a piece of plastic? Am i supposed to break off the plastic, and the pot-screw will be under that, or how does this work?
Don't want to break the driver...lol

Driver is authentic btw, i checked the serial with MW

Thanks!

thats the screw. are you sure you have he right size screwdriver? a #1 or #2 bit wont turn the little screw

I'm using a small Phillips head screwdriver, but it might be too big... Thanks, i just needed to know if the plastic was in the way, or if that was the actual thing

I did, and it's a piece of plastic. I was expecting to see a screw...

It's a little plastic screw lol

Seriously take it easy on the plastic screw. If you crank the screw dial past the stop, either way. It'll be screwed'...alright.

you should see a screw if you look down at the bottom of the hole. I believe the screw itself is plastic, and is the same color as the plastic piece it screws into, but you should definitely see the top of a tiny phillips-head screw if you shine a light down the hole..

I just put a little screwdriver in there and gently turn until I feel it catch, and I always do it while plugged into the kill-a-watt meter so I can actually see how much I'm adjusting it, wattage wise, rather than just eyeballing the brightness of the light...
