Default throttle adjustment?

I put a 90/90 set up on my car, and i think the bigger throttle body needs a little more line in the cable cause it stay a little open is there any way to adjust this? the cause has traction control and the little box looks pretty confusing once opened, so if someone else knows how to adjust it let me in on the secret...

Which cable is pulling it constantly open? If it's the TCS, you might be able to bend the Gas Petal a little bit straighter to make it close it.

There is an adjuster in the cable between the TB and the firewall. It looks like a small black box. You pull a clip out, slide it back and forth for the correct length, and put the clip back in it to lock in place.

for some reason i could only get the throttlebody to close all the way and not open all the way, or it will stay half way open and and open all the way...
