Default remote mirror adjustment

Making great progress with my dad's '63. It has what appears to be an original remote mirror but it's useless (can't adjust it to good view) are these adjustable at all? I took things apart to see how it works but don't see any adjustability built into it.

Is the cable not moving the mirror at all or just a little? The mirrors on my 62 are fender mounted so the outside mirror gives me a great view of the backside of the antenna haha, no adjustment can fix that!

knob works fine to move mirror around, it's just that it centers on the sky to your left and you can't move it far enough to get a decent view let alone let it stay that way, I'm trying to figure out how to "recenter" it. I've managed to improve it by fiddling, at least it seems usable now.

Installed one on a 61 and was a real job.

Barely useable even when they were new
