Doing an idle reset on my fox and I wanted to know if I got the right place where to throttle stop screw is (circled in red) I have an aftermarket throttle body. Also I wanted to know to turn it counter clockwise or clockwise to adjust the idle (currently the car dies when I unplug the iac)

No. It's on the throttle body by the lever, clockwise to raise RPM, counterclockwise to lower RPMs.
Note: a little goes a long way turning the screw.
Have you read the 'base idle reset' procedure?

Yes I have. Pretty simple procedure except I can't find the exact spot that would be the throttle stop screw. Do you by chance see it in the pictures?

Note this is an aftermarket tb, the set screw is in the same spot but is a 10mm head I believe.
