Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Rear Derailleur screw question???

I was looking at my bike today and noticed the screw on my Rear Derailleur was coming out possibly?
I have Shimano 105 components.
But do I need to tighten the screw all the way in or is this correct?

Thanks so much.

Thats the "B-Screw" that adjusts the angle of the derailleur body. Here are some tips
