I don't know the VI-T, but I do know the 7.  Maybe they are similar.  The 7
has a port in the mid front on the top surface of the top plate.  The port
is covered by a small round plate (a couple millimeters I think) that can
be removed by a two hole spanner, or by turning with the grip of a rubber
stopper.  Once the port cover is off, a small screwdriver will go through
the hole to turn a screw that adjusts the vertical position of the
rangefinder patch.
   If there is not such a port easily found on the top of the top plate,
the best next place to look is under the shoe.  The Canon 7 doesn't have a
shoe (!), so its port may well be differently placed because of that.  So,
look under your shoe.   If you need any help beyond finding the port, ask
again and I'll be glad to go over a method of getting the adjustment right
on.
