Brake pedal on forward controls

i recently installed fwd controls on my 08 FXD. The brake pedal seems to sit at an awkwardly High position and I have to take my foot off the footpeg to engage the rear brake. Anyone know if it can be rotated clockwise closer to the ground? How does the process go?

the rod that connects the brake pedal to the rear master cylinder can be screwed in more and that would pull the rod back further and pull the pedal down more. if you look at the pedal the rod is connected follow it back and loosen the nut on it take the rod loose from the pedal and screw the rod in more it may get you what you need.

Use two wrenches and break loose the jam nut (the spin nut to the right). Then the nut on the left can be rotated to adjust pedal location.
