Pull them out from the top and locate the allen screw. You can snug up one on each and it will tighten up your sticks. Its a friction lock.
Once you get them out you'll see it and it will be clear.

Use an allen wrench to poke inside the rubber opening around each lever and tighten the screw a bit. It's on the back side of the levers opposite the cant. Don't have to remove the assembly to do it. Just push the levers fully forward if forward cant, or down if rearward cant to access then screw. A 15 second adjustment.
Don't have any photo editing program to put an arrow on it, but the screw boss is barely visable. It's the forwardmost boss on the bottom side where the shadow is on the 1st shifter lever.

5/32" allen, I believe. A T-handle is best. Once you get it close, a very small adjustment will make a very big difference.
