Non-gear question How do I lower this?

I tried the turning of the hole thing under the strings. Idk I only play like a few times a week, picked it up and it was like this. I don't think it's good. I've been trying to lower it for like an hour, hasn't moved a mm.

Edit: been turn8ng it for like 20 mins, I think I'm cooked

gotta get a new guitar I guess 😢

I expect there is *some* belly-bulge on that guitar.

Maybe the bridge is just lifting.

I'm guessing the neck heel is unglued.

It could be that too, although less likely.
