Question Laser adjustment question.

I recently picked up a Samurai Edge laser from WGC and have it mounted on my shiny new Mk.23 (let's face it, the LAM is a joke).
Problem is, I can't seem to be able to get the Laser to adjust the way it looks like it's supposed to.
It has 4 small hex screws on each side near the front of the laser, which I figure are pretty clearly for doing slight adjustments. I can tighten and loosen them as much as I want though, and they don't have any effect most of the time.
Is there a trick to adjusting these things that I'm missing, or should I just give up and sell it and get another or trade it off?

do you have to wiggle the mount while you are loosening them? (i dunno just a bit of tinkering ideas :P)

in the past i'd move the hole to get it to roughly go where i want it to go, then i'd fine adjust it with the screws.

Most often you're not going to get it spot on unless you've bought a really high grade laser unit.

I was tinkering with it last night and it seems to be working a bit better, or at least if I need to adjust it more, I should be able to. It's really close to being on with the gun's sights.
I removed the screws entirely and used my alan key to wiggle the laser head around inside. After some prodding it started to move, it looks like it was stuck in place inside. It takes some work, but it adjusts a bit now.
It's odd, the screws don't adjust the hole that the laser shines out of, they adjust where the laser head is inside the unit.
