To adjust the action height on this type of bridge, you need to use a 1.5mm Allen wrench to adjust the two screws on each saddle. Make sure you adjust both height screws to the same height so your saddle stays flat. With this type of bridge, you need to go through each string and check the action height for each one.

Where should a guitar bridge be placed?
On pretty much every guitar the bridge should be located so that the break point of the string will be exactly at the distance of the scale length, from the nut. The scale length of any guitar is defined as double the distance from the nut to the 12th fret.
Why are guitar bridges slanted?
The simplest explanation is that with the slanted pickup positioning, you get more response from the treble strings and more control over the low-end strings. The closer the pickups are to the bridge, the brighter and more treble-heavy the sound becomes.
