Next, use the small set screw to adjust the angle of the hook.

If you tighten the grub screw further, you'll make the folding mechanism tighter. If you loosen the grub screw, it will become looser.

Check the setting

Check occasionally to make sure the folding mechanism is neither too tight nor too loose.

It should close tightly and have as little play as possible.

Tighten the large screw again

Then tighten the large screw again.

When assembling, make sure that all screws are tightened properly and that the folding mechanism locks securely.

Check the result

After adjusting the settings, check to make sure the folding mechanism closes properly and the handlebar is securely in place. Pay particular attention to whether the mechanism can be operated without excessive force and whether there is any noticeable play.
