Hello, I have started documenting the temperatures inside our house. I have attached a link with a table. What do you think about the data? The temperatures have remained fairly consistent under similar weather conditions. Overall, I am quite satisfied with the data. I have not made any changes since the hydraulic balancing.
The bedroom upstairs should be cooler. Can I simply reduce the flow rate there? Is there anything else I should consider given that we have very short loops (starting from 16 meters (52 feet) :/)?
In the last four days, we have ventilated very little because we have a central ventilation system. As a result, there hasn’t been much change in the values. Should I continue documenting and ventilate more aggressively and variably in the coming days to test how the rooms warm up? The heating curve is currently set to 2 out of 10. Does it need adjustment? Link description

The flow indicators in your case are just indicators; you cannot adjust them. You need to remove the actuators, and underneath you should find a hexagonal fitting where the flow rate can be changed.
Turn carefully and definitely mark the starting position on all circuits. There is a lot that can go wrong. Photos and thorough documentation are, of course, essential.

However, all of them are quite adjustable. You just need to know what you’re doing and avoid turning things wildly; instead, work in increments of 1/10, 1/4, or half turns. A full turn is often already too much and can disrupt the entire hydraulic balance.
Really, at 0.5 and below, you can’t tell if there is any flow at all.

Sorry to ask again. I already removed the actuators some time ago. I’ve attached another picture. I was about to loosen or turn the hexagon to the left to adjust it, but it’s quite tight. I didn’t use a lot of force, but is it really correct to turn the hexagon, or should the copper part be moved instead? In my opinion, the hexagon is stuck. So it seems it’s not meant to be adjusted.
