Hi
There are probably 2 collimation screws on each side.
One of them on each side is where this article has a picture. JUst under
the rubber cover.

These may be the only ones you need. If not there is one more on each
side.
The other ones are a little harder to find and are near the focus knob
also under the rubber cover.
The screws you identified in your picture hold on that rear plate.
