It's the nut with the notches under the top triple clamp that takes a spanner to turn, that makes the adjustment. Then the bolt on top is tightened to lock the adjustment. You can turn that bolt tight without a problem if the adjustment is not too tight. It should be adjusted to just take out all the play, but not so much that you can feel any friction when turning. This all has to be done with the front wheel off the ground so you can feel what's going on.
