Default How to tighten front turn signal

2011, 1200 Custom -
Turn signals mounted on handle bars.
One signal is loose - that is when I snug it up it doesn't point exactly forward.
How (and what) do I disassemble to tighten this up?

Probably a dumb question, but I'm a newbie and don't want to screw it up!

Thanks,

Pete

They have a set screw on the front or the lever bracket

Allen screw. Just position where you want the lights and tighten up the screw.
