OK, that is the correct thing to move to adjust the tilt.
Now, look at the last picture you took and see the red and black wires attached in the right side of the gap between the yoke assembly and the centering magnet assembly.
Move the yoke left and right and see if those wires move with the adjusting wing nut.
If they don't, then you have to determine why. This usually means that you have to disassemble the centering and yoke assemblies to get to the problem.
Run the test I suggested, and if those connections are not moving, please get a second opinion on best way to do this. It has been about 50 years since I had to repair a yoke in one of these late model Philcos and I seem to remember there was a "gotcha" in the way the CRT was mounted.
I do remember wrapping a similar vintage Philco yoke in cloth saturated with 3M weatherstrip cement* to hold it together after it disintegrated during a CRT replacement.
I've also seen where some vintage repairs where when the plastic deteriorated, they simply cemented the yoke to the CRT neck. Trust me, you don't want to touch one of those jack-leg repairs.
* This was the yellow stuff that dries rock hard, not what they sell for weatherstrip cement today.
