It's probably easier to spot on the component side of the board.
You're doing better than I did first time I needed to adjust a hex slug...I knew it was a hex slug, but not having the plastic tool and being a broke highschool kid with broke parents in the great recession like an idiot I used a metal hex tool and chipped the end of a convergence slug of a color Zenith...There was enough range to live without the chip, but still I learned that lesson the hard way...

I need to get the mirror back on it and spend some time adjusting it, lesson learned on the coil adjustment locations. Looking back at the SAM's manual with new eyes I see it did clearly identify the location and adjustment methods, but I jumped to the conclusion that they would have flathead screwcaps like my radios. Here's an example picture of what an adjustment for a nylon hex adjustment tool looks like located inside of the coil looks like if another beginner stumbles on it in the future:
