If I understand you right - you want the blade to rest on the driver's side rather than the passenger side when it comes to rest.
Unscrew the holding nut, remove arm from spindle, reposition arm on spindle where you want it to rest, refit nut.

Wouldn't that make it try to wipe the bonnet?

You adjust it on the top of the wiper motor itself, last time i tried it was a bit tricky to get it sat right on the screen tho

Um, now that you mention it - yes

As Birdy says, you have to unscrew the short arm from the motor spindle and rotate that arm until the wiper is in the position you want. It can be a bit trial and error to get it right.
