Carb throttle idle screw not adjusting SOLVED

I have a Carter bbs carburetor and for some reason when it switches from fast idle to normal idle, the rpm does not drop. Looking at the screws closer I noticed that the idle screw is not even touching anything. Screwing it whole way in does not help either.

What could be the reason?
Remove the rod circled in red. That's the offender. That rod installs on the choke, not the throttle lever.
