IR sensor problem

I'm trying to set up the infra red sensor on my MK3s after installing the MMU2 upgrades.

The instruction are very straightforward, move block to left, get a zero on reader, if no 1 when allen key inserted, move slightly to right and begin again. My reading goes from zero to 1 when I slide it across but at no point can I produce a 1 with the allen key inserted. I'm sure I must be doing something wrong but what? any advice gratefully received.

Well, against the odds, I have solved the problem myself. A slight ambiguity in the instructions led me in the wrong direction and I followed blindly. After posting the original, I sat back and went through all the other instructions. I found the problem and had it fixed almost immediately. For anyone interested, I was ignoring the setting of the screw holding the pivot panel and had it set too tightly. Doh!
