Hello, i'm a newbie with guitars, i bought my first guitar only three months ago, an Harley Benton CST-24T LH Paradise Flam, now i'm beginning to play a little, i wanted to begin to use the tremolo, but here is my problem: the tremolo is not fixed and i suppose it should be fixed somehow, so i searched on google and found this video on the bottom that is quite good and explains also how to fix the tremolo at min 10:30 ca. Basically there should be an X screw in a little hole on the back of the bridge that you need to tighten, i bought a little set of screwdrivers, they go inside the hole, it seems there is a screw, but i cannot find the screwdriver that fits. Someone can help me out to understand, maybe with a photo or instructions?

What do you mean by fixed? You either have your tremolo floating (you can go both up and down) or you have it decked (can only go down). If you have it decked, the back end of it will be in touch with the guitar body (if it's a stratocaster type tremolo like yours). Wether you like it floating or decked is a matter of personal taste and of what you want to use it for. Some people like to block (fix) their tremolos. On a Stratocaster style guitar that is usually done by inserting wooden blocks between the trem block and guitar body inside the tremolo routing. On Floyd Rose tremolos you sometimes find a locking mechanism to fix the trem but those are very different animals.
