I want to adjust one of the hinges on this door to brung the door closer to the frame. The bolt on the hinge is shown below, the 5mm Allen key can't turn because the plastic housing has a hex shape like the bolt, so the bolt won't turn

What do I do? , do I knock the bolt upwards so it clears the white bit of the hinge so I can turn it and then pop it back. The bolt has a marker showing it's position, so I think there must be some way of adjusting it

Thanks in advance
