SOURCE: guitar truss rod dilemma
The truss rod must be too slack then.
Is the sound ok? Does it play ok?
In it's current state the truss rod is doing nothing.
If the guitar is sounding ok and playing ok, then the next time you change the strings pull the truss rod out and throw it in the garbage.lol
Seriously though...just pull it out and put it aside.
If,however,the guitar is not sounding ok then try tightening it.
If you're unsure about how much to tighten it then I suggest taking it to your local music store for help with that.

I own an Epiphone Casino and if I needed to adjust the truss rod I would take it to a luthier (stinged instrument repair person). There is a good write up on it here. http://www.fretnotguitarrepair.com/trussrods.htm
Hope this helps.

SOURCE: need size of truss rod
Takes a standard 'Allen Key' hexagonal wrench (I'm not sure of the size for your specific guitar but most are around 5 or 6mm)

With that guitar I would recommend taking it to a guitar shop for setting it up. You do NOT want to mess with the truss rod yourself unless you have had experience doing that.
SOURCE: After adjusting the truss rod,
Take the truss rod cover off. Take the one of the screws and carefully run some super glue into the screw thread (not directly in the hole). Put it in the problem hole and screw in, leaving a bit of the screw sticking out. Leave it over night to set. Remove the screw with a screwdriver, replace the cover and replace all screws. This technique works well for many screws, although the bigger one, such as strap buttons work better with a good quality wood glue.
