Hey guys,
I want to be able to adjust the black angle iron horizontally as i turn the bolt The nut is welded to the bracket...Is there another way to do this?
maybe with an addition of a shoulder bolt might work

My first reaction was "why do they use Grade 8 bolts for leveling/adjusting?"
Anyway, if you have room in the angle (or use unequal leg angle) you could have a jack bolt as shown with a clamp bolt right next to it. These are very common for leveling and holding tooling down.
If you had enough room you could make it a lot more complicated by welding a stud to the 'moving' part and then have a captivated nut in a clevis on the angle part.
Honestly, the first thing that I thought of was to use one of these:
Knurled Screw Jacks (Heavy) | Carr Lane
Or one of these:
Heavy-Duty Screw Jacks | Carr Lane
Threaded through your nut. You would need more room, and it would might be too costly/over engineered.....but the heavy duty ones have a built in locking nut and are designed to withstand a lot of pressure without moving.
Is this a constant/daily adjustment or is it a 1 time set up adjustment?
I am assuming the angle iron is welded to the tube in the background?
If it is a 1 time adjustment I would use a set screw with loc-tite on it to set it.
Multiple adjustments I would use something close to what you have using either a weld nut or a pem nut with a jam nut on the back to lock position. Also I would radius the end of the bolt to not mar the surface of what the bolt will be pushing against.
*Edit* You must have been editing your initial question while I responded.
A bigger idea of what you are trying to accomplish would help clear it up. The weight of the structure you are trying to move along with how far it has to move would be helpful. A bigger screen shot looking at it might help. Also what is this frame hinging on? You push with the bolt, where's the pivot point for it move around?
