Don't mess with it, not until you know what you are doing, and I mean that in the nicest way, not a condescending way, sorry.
Get back on the net and do as much research as you can.
The hex bolts and associated flat-head screws are likely the push/pull system, but check first.
The secondary will have it's own set of adjusting screws. Maks are simple to adjust, but like others have found if you are just guessing it can go pear-shaped without you realising it.
Best way to start is to sit it on a mount or tripod, at eye height. Look directly at the front, from a distance of perhaps 3 - 4 meters, and see how the reflections line up. If they are all close to bang on then it is good enough to take out and tune with a star. I tend to get the scope close as I can from the front the tickle it with a star (or artificial star).
Get some help from someone who has done it before, and is close by.
