I only want to tighten it a bit so 7-8 clicks stops the car from rolling.

Read all the threads and responses (here and elsewhere) about difficulties getting under the armrest console or doing it through the adjuster access hole with jacked wheels and have watched videos on both.
Jacked the car up, on stands both sides, wheels off.
First thing was both disc hubs have no rubber bung and think they only come with original discs as these are replacements (the old binding callipers scoring the discs) and previous mechanic didn't think to swap bungs.
If I'd known would have had new shoes, etc. installed at same time. Also, if calliper goes on one side do both as other side probably not far behind! and then you're replacing another disc and pad set!!
The main meat of this post though was that videos of Accords show that the toothed adjuster wheel is routinely accessed (with hole) at 6 o'clock, but my adjusters were both at 12 o'clock. SMH. So, inexperienced, lying down rotating hub pointing torch wondering where wretched adjuster was on first wheel.
Can shoe sets be installed rotated 180 degrees?
Furthermore, I watched the videos and followed the right direction to tighten the adjusters (having taken into account the apparent 180 degree installation rotation) only to find it slackened them off.
Is it possible to put those barrel adjusters in reversed?
Found replacement bungs (cap, maintenance hole) here but can't add them to basket (having set up an account) https://www.parts-honda.uk/honda-cars/***ignment_spare_parts/42511SP0000
