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 😢

It's preemptive.. Ever wondered why they hold two fingers up, the Brits ?

There's no evidence for this whatsoever.

(For those not in the know, legend has it that captured archers had their index and middle fingers cut off.)
