I repaired both my seats, similarly to how you did. One of them would not adjust after the repair. I removed the arm, and hesitated a good long while before cutting the foam and exposing the cavity where the adjustment mechanism is. It had at some point gotten a lick that knocked the adjustment screw awry. I was able to get everything lined up properly and the screw then worked fine. I simply refitted the foam and resewed the upholstery back over it. No one can look at it and tell that it has ever been taken apart.
