I know nothing about this particularly aircraft or systems.
You seem to have a problem of excessive range. Adjusting rods wont fix that.
Is there somewhere where a radial motion is imparted into the system?
A little difficult to explain however.
Think of a bar that rotates about a fixed point at one end. If you attach an output at the opposite end for every degree of rotation it will impart a linear output.
If you move the output to a position halfway along the bar you will reduce the linear output for the same angular motion.
Thereby you have reduced the total range. Then the range can be "positioned" by a rod adjustment.
This type of adjustment is used on a number of helicopters for engine controls.
