Seat Back adjustment too loose

I have a small issue with my passenger side seat. How is the seat back tightness adjusted on the early cars with no electronics (totally manual) like on my 84? I see a big screw on the inboard side but I can't think of a good way to tighten this and not sure if this is the correct method. It's the big ugly rusty screw in the photo below. I didn't realize how bad it looked until taking this picture so I'll probably clean it up regardless.

The adjustment mechanism dial on the outboard side works perfectly but it's a little too loose so that the seatback begins to recline by itself over the course of a few weeks.

My seats were disassembled, recovered, and reassembled during previous ownership so perhaps something was not perfectly tightened during reassembly.

Thanks for the help!

No adjustment. If left alone, the pressure from your back will tend to push the seatback down, and, consequently, rotate the knob. Ah the joys of owning an analog car.
