Looked but couldn't find a photo of the hot shoe cover removed. But all you do is lift the front edges with a thin blade or screwdriver. Once the two edges on either side of the flash stop pin are up the cover slides off rearward.

Canonet RF Screw
I don't have a photo of the shoe cover removed, but this is where the adjustment screw is located underneath.
