It doesn't look wrong - but the picture isn't big, and, as Dave says, the proof of the pudding is in the clutch working properly.

The screw doesn't make the arm move as such, in essence it adjusts the effective length of the rod that the lifter pushes, as you will have seen the cable pulls the arm and the thread in the lifter moves the threaded section and thus the rod away from you, obviously it can only travel between two points, its upper and lower extremes, if the rod were effectively too short the lifter would get to its uppermost position before pushing the rod and the clutch would not lift, and if too long it would not allow the rod to move back to the rest position, toward you, and the clutch would not be released.
You say you've already adjusted the lifter as per my guide - what is the problem you're now experiencing? Does the clutch not lift, or does it not release?
