With the lens and camera aimed at the distant object, your split image on the LX should show you how much adjustment you need to get the mirror perfectly aligned, either through bumper thickness, or adjustment.
If your lens is focused at infinity and your split image agrees, then you're done!
Speaking of, you can bypass the physically clear distant object with this method:
