I would recommend sliding it foward a touch or pulling it off and tuning it with shop air. Don't continue to loosen it your just taking the peload off the spring.

The actual AFC housing will slide about 3/8 inch back and forth on the pump. Losing the AFC will fuel more during low boost on take off (can get smokey). Tightening will clean up the smoke and you'll lose some top end power. You'll have to move it around to see what you like. I strongly suggest you take notes on the amount of star wheels turns, how far the AFC is moved, and the fuel plate. They will come in handy when you're trying to tune it in.
