Water overflowing from Toilet Cistern into overflow pipe

The water level is rising too high when the cistern refills after flushing so the excess overflows into the outside pipe.
Under the old system I could adjust the ballcock arm which I think was copper but the modern cistern has plastic components
There is a white plastic arm then a red joint below it and the blue ballcock screws into the red joint.
How do I adjust the ballcock so that the water stops coming in before it reaches the height of the overflow pipe. :?:

See where the arm pivots at the valve, just above the pivot you should see a plastic screw which when turned changes when the plunger is closed so closing the valve
I can prob send you a pic if needed
