Adjusting Bliss Clarinet

I have the Bliss 210 clarinet and when i play middle B with only my left pinky, the note doesn't play unless i put down my right pinky on the C key. I know that the Bliss comes with Targeted Key Adjustment screws, but i don't know exactly how to use the screws.

It sounds like the gap between the crow's foot and the keys is a bit too large so the pad on the F/C key isn't closing all of the way. Try turning the adjustment screw on the underside of the crow's foot clockwise to close up some of the gap. Don't adjust it too much or you will end up with the other pad not seating when you try to play middle B.
