on mine i undo the locknut on the banjo bolt on the rear master cylinder, undo the bolt that goes through it into the pedal.
wind the banjo bolt in / out to adjust the pedal height (and amount of stamp you can get on the brake.
then bolt it back up & secure the locknut.

with the standard setup you just turn the locknut under the master cylinder (arrowed)

looks like a 12mm nut
dont forget to readjust the brake light switch.
