Accepted Answer

There is a video from Lifestyle Lab on YouTube called "How to Set Palm Tamper Depth". I followed that tutorial and it worked perfectly. In summary, my method (to recalibrate after disassembly and cleaning) now looks like this:
1. Apply funnel ring (purchased separately) to the portafilter (PF).
2. Fill the PF with the usual dosage of espresso (18-20 grams).
3. Use a needle, toothpick, chopstick, or other coffee distribution and clump-removal device (sourced or purchased separately) to distribute the grounds within the PF.
4. Holding the funnel ring firmly against the PF, tap the PF flatly and firmly against the counter until the ground espresso is about level with the top edge of the PF.
5. Remove the funnel ring from the PF,  then use the palm tamper/distributor's distributor side (the wavy side, at the lowest height setting) to lightly tamp the espresso puck, applying a few twists or spins to distribute the espresso grounds and create a smooth top surface of the espresso puck.
6. Attach and lock the PF to the group head.
7. Remove the PF from the group head and examine the marks made by the shower screen atop the espresso puck.
8. Unscrew the black ring a few turns on the flat tamper side of the palm tamper/distributor; unscrew the shiny tamper a few turns; screw the black ring back down.
9. Tamp the espresso puck. Remove the tamper from the PF and examine the puck.
10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 with very small adjustments to the tamper height until the tamper just barely removes the shower screen imprint from the top of the espresso puck, leaving a smooth surface.
11. Lock and load -- your tamper is calibrated and ready-to-use!
