The timing chain tensioner does not appear to be adjustable and is hydraulically tensioned or static as there are not any adjustements mentioned in installation instructions.
There are 2 timing chains, inner and outer, and the inner only has a chain guide. If you have never done the timing chain or if it is over 70,000 miles since both have been replaced it is likely the chains and/or gears are in need of replacement.
I included a diagram of timing chain components so you could see how it is set up.
