In mine its glued in place tight and it appears as if it cant go anywhere else if I do loosen and remove it. I cant adjust it in any fashion unless I reconfigure it in some sense. You can actually spot mine in picture P2040034 / 35 / and 37." Yes. Your support appears (from what I can see in the pics) to be horizontal. Is it a stick or is it big in two dimensions? My support appears to be just about exactly the same place as yours, but mine is a stick-like thing maybe six inches long, and runs from the edge of the soundboard downward and towards the back wall at about a 60 degree angle and meets the back wall just above the keybed. Just one screw held it in place on the back wall. I can remove the screw, push up a little, and screw it back into a new hole a tad higher on the back wall to get a little bend in the soundboard and a little more downbearing in the big bend area of the long bridge. Sounds pretty weird, eigh? Well, a pretty weird piano!
