Default Rear View mirror has come loose

My 2014 GS250 (we don't have the 350 in the UK) is driven by my wife and me. In consequence the rear view mirror is adjusted on each change-over and the mirror is loose on its windscreen mount.

I think there is a grub screw which needs tightening with a small hex 'allen' key. Does anyone know where this is situated as it is not obvious when looking at the mount?

The fastener is actually a torx, although I'm not sure what size. There is no cover over it, it just points straight down towards the dash.

When tightening my mirror, I found that having the shoe seated over the mounting block all the way down would not allow me to tighten the fastener enough to keep the mirror from flopping around. To fix that, just pull it up out of the mounting by about a quarter inch and then tighten the torx.

Mine was the same. Complained to the dealer and they fixed it by tightening it again.
