Adjusting shell height via screws at the bottom of white support arms

[HoMiPa]

I've been searching the forum for idea about how to fix a problem I have with the bottom half of the entry door. Both the front and rear shells seem to be lower on the curb side, because I can't get the pins on either side of the bottom half of the door to clip into place. Last year it took my son lifting on the shell on each side, while I shoved it into place. I got the rear shell side (left side of door) pin in place today (finally) by myself by lift on the rear shell with a crow bar between the lower portion of the trailer and the rear shell. Not exactly ideal.

There is an obvious different in the height of the two sides of my TM. If you are looking at the front, you can see about 1.5" of the front bed slide below the upper shell on the right, but on the left, the bottom of the front bed slide is almost level with the bottom of the upper shell. Same with the back, except it is the right side of the bed that is even with the upper shell. In other words, both curb sides of the bed slides are even with the bottom of the upper shells, while the street sides are about and inch and a half lower than the bottom of the upper shells.

Anyway, I found this:

At that point are 4 small screws holding the white support arm in place. Mark the current location of the white support bar on the torsion as a point of reference. Using a support (2 x 4 on top of a hydraulic jack or car jack) placed under the shell and parallel to the white support arm, loosen the 4 bolts and carefully tap down with a rubber mallet on the curved part of the torsion bar. Put some upward pressure on the jack as you hit down on the torsion bar. You should find that 1/8 to 1/4 inch increase in height will be enough to allow the door jamb to fit properly. Do be careful swinging the rubber mallet as it will tend to bounce into the side wall of the box denting the aluminum skin.

My question regarding this is about the holes for the bolts. Are there not just holes for the bolts on the torsion bar portion? Inside the white support arm, do the torsion bars have long slots that the bolts go through, to allow this adjustment?

I'm heading to bed right now, but I'll check back here tomorrow. I'd like to get this adjustment made before I start working on the flooring this weekend, since I can't close the door right now.
