If you want to adjust fore-aft, loosen either bolt enough for the saddle to move, locate the saddle where you want it on the clamp, and tighten the same bolt -- tilt will return to the same place it started.
Right, but that is not 2-bolt independent tilt and fore/aft adjustment. That’s a good 2-bolt micro-adjusting system.

I’m sure you understand the difference, but for reference, if we go back and look and look at the Forte post linked above, we can see one of the bolts controls only tilt, and the other bolt controls rail clamping (fore/aft), allowing independent adjustment of either.
