Yes, I used the 4 allen-head bolts to adjust the alignment of the end pieces, per the instructions. The lift arms on my 4500 were already angled toward the center at the end of the arms. I had to use the provided shims to adjust the height of the end pieces and I used the 4 allen-head bolts to adjust the left/right alignment. When I aligned the end pices, I had the lift arms in their highest position. When I lowered them to pick up my shredder, I immediately saw that my adjustments should have been made with the arms in the normal/lower position. I had to readjust the end pieces so they would match the angles of the lift pins on the shredder. Here's a photo of my Pat's Easy Change system with the optional spacer bar:
