It's my understanding that that bolt is to adjust how close to vertical the support arms will go. In other words, if you can't pull the shell open enough so that the support arms are true vertical, then you need to loosen that bolt inside the pocket stop, to allow the support arm to swing up more. If you can pull the shell open so far that the support arm moves past vertical, and leans towards the front of the open shell, then that bolt needs to be tightened.

The 4 bolts on the bottom of each support bar are not the bolts that you adjust for the torsion bars. They hold the vertical portions of the torsion bars in place, inside the support arms. Adjusting those will only shorten, or lengthen, the distance between the actual torsion bar and the bottom edge of the shell.
