The G50 clutch really has no adjustment. Here’s why:
The master cylinder installed length is supposed to be dead on at 158mm plus or minus 1mm. So there no adjustment to be had there.

Disagree with your comment about clutch adjustment.
The factory measurement for the rod that goes into the master cylinder is about right, but there is no physical reason why it cannot be adjusted enough to move the clutch pedal a fair bit.
There is a limit on one end if the rod is set too short where it will not actually actuate the slave cylinder and there is a limit on the other end where it will overextend the master cylinder.
I did some pretty heavy duty checking while my car was apart and you do have enough room in that adjustment to move the pedal perhaps 20 degrees or perhaps 30, which is what I did as I am 190 cm with very long legs.
The adjustment I used is in the one in this picture with the arrow pointing at it.
No issues in my experience, but certainly would reinforce that the recommended position is quite good for most drivers.
