Yes, it is very simple.

any of this?<<
This is more of an adjustment to compensate for slight differences between
cars due to production tolerances or "incident" related frame damage.
If you adjust it to make the width of the bar shorter, you _may_ increase
your negative camber a _little_. If you adjust it to make the bar's total
length longer, you _may_ decrease your camber a little.
I would just tighten it to take out any slop and smile.
