What is the proper way to adjust the intonation on this bridge? It looks a bit different than what I’ve seen in many of the videos.
The closest I found looked like he just moved it with his fingers.

Those kind are a pain. I’ve got them on my Spector. There’s a screw that will “unlock” the bridgy bits and let you manually push them around then you have to tighten the screw back down. Not as precise as the other kinds.
I’ve learned to be happy with “close enough”, intonation-wise on mine.

A couple of my strings are off to the point I can see it on the tuner but I can’t hear it being off with my ear. That might be close enough. 
I think I see the screw. It’s just so tiny.

Looks like the allen (alan?) key hole is on the front of the slides.

Yeah, my eye sight isn’t so great. So that’s going to be tough.

Go to You Tube and look up “Elixir Strings and John Carruthers.” He has several set up videos and one includes bridge adjustment.

You might want to consider one of these magnifying modelling lamps. I have one that I find indispensable the older my eyes get! I’ve used it a few times to see some of the smaller screws on my bases better!

I definitely need something like that. Was thinking of a desk light but didn’t think of a magnifying one.
Or something like jewelers/watchmakers wear:
i have gotten to the point where i will be learning how to setup/adjust my basses on my own. except the spector. no frigging way, i would literally rather pay someone to avoid that headache.
If it were my bass and I liked it, I’d look into a bridge swap/upgrade.
I’ve got a Les Paul Jr that had the 3-point bridge. I swapped it and am so glad I did.

sure that is definitely an option, and probably a smart one at that. but a lot of my basses that i am more attached to i prefer to leave stock, it’s just my thing. i do have a “fun” bass, my mikro, that i did a lot of mods to.
