Adjusting the cueing mechanism on a Mørch tonearm

Greetings!
I've installed a Mørch UP-4 tonearm in a new arm board on a VPI HW-19 Mk 2 turntable. Even though the arm board is entirely flush with the acrylic base plate, the cueing mechanism is a bit too low such that the stylus doesn't clear the record rim. Is there a method for adjusting the height of that tonearm's cueing device? I can't find anything online and a note to the distrbutor gave me the not too satisfactory (but maybe only) solution of installing a washer under the tonearm base plate. That would throw off the azimuth. Advice appreciated!
Thanks,Keith

You should adjust the back of the arm so that the arm is level when the stylus is on the groove to set VTA.

The height of the lifter can be adjusted by undoing the allen screw in the front of the platform that holds it. You should raise the arm and then set the height of the lifter so that the stylus is 4mm above the record surface.
