A proper Allen key must fit tight, a loose Allen key ( most Fender give with case ) can damage truss rod nut .

No you can't see the nut , too dark an too far.... :lol:

How to adjust ?

Fist, take some reading to see IF neck need truss rod adjustment
Buy a good Allen key set .

You could look on You Tube How to

Most important for a beginner ; not more than 1/8 turn at time and wait at least 1 hour before doing another 1/8 turn if needed . Take a new reeding on neck curve before other 1/8 turn .

and wait , wait .....Sometime you may need to want 12 hours util neck stop moving

The Special is a standard truss rod not biflex and the correct size is 1/8" allen (hex) wrench.
There is a section about it in the Fender setup guide.

stratele52 has very good advice also.
