Should i adjusted alone, or leave it that way? I think i would be able to do it, since i saw it. I think it would be enough just to loosen one screw (right one and do a bit of tightening)... Do I need a torque wrench, or do I just tighten as much as i can, The main scre i mean.
Thanks for replying!
No problems in cornering though...

1 millimeter isn't a lot but it may affect chain and sprocket wear in time. If you saw it done once you can probably do it yourself now.
You need to start from scratch with the adjustment. Loosen both adjusters a bit. One full turn should be adequate. Loosen the axle. Try to remember the amount of force needed to loosen it and use the same amount to eventually tighten it. You will get the idea with time.
Now that the axle is loose just kick the rear tire forward until the chain is slack or stops at the adjusters. Slowly tighten both adjusters to match the same hash marks on the swing arm. I usually do a 1/6th turn of the adjuster for a simple reason. The adjusters have 6 sides and are easy to see. Do an adjustment, check the chain slack and hash marks. Repeat until you feel the chain is correctly tightened. Snug up the axle a bit. Check hash marks again as I have experienced axle movement when tightening an axle. If it is good with a snug then tighten with some force and call it good.
Others will drop in and add their info and suggestions too. It's all good. What I will miss some one else will clarify and make things right.
