ETA: I looked closer at your new photo and mine. It looks like on yours the black painted comes straight down from the metal piece that needs to be adjusted, whereas, mine is at a slight angle. The adjusting screw is below the circled screw. If you need more info, let me know and will try to explain better or illustrate better.
I had another look at mine, and realized that what I thought was another adjusting screw -
is not. It is the
pivot for the winder. So my suggestion still is to
disengage the bobbin winder from the engaged position and loosen the circled screw, press the metal piece that it is holding toward the hub of the hand wheel so that the space is not visible.
