K-Jet rough/lumpy idle, looking for troubleshooting tips 200 1980

So I got a 3mm allen that is long enough, along with a dwell meter. I set up to adjust the mixture according to that guide, but I could not for the life of me find the allen screw head with my allen key.

My allen key drops down inside the hole about an inch before encountering an object. I fished around with the key for near 20 minutes looking for engagement to a screw head, but to no avail. When doing this while the engine was running, I was able to simply press down on the object my allen key was touching and was able to get the engine to stumble. I take that to mean that I was successfully pressing down on the arm itself.

That said, I can't find that darn screw to turn. Any advice?
