How to use tweak in a sentence?

1. Jaden Ivey:

   I felt good, didn't tweak it at all.

2. Donovan Mitchell:

   I feel like I was able to go back, but no need to risk it down 16, 18 at that point, it doesn’t make sense to go back out there and possibly tweak it. Just rest and get ready for the next game. Mitchell missed his first four shots, including a pair of drives to the basket, and didn’t make his first basket until there was 7:34 left in the second quarter. He then proceeded to score Utah's next 16 points, which included four 3-pointers. It was the first time in his last 23 games that Mitchell had gone scoreless in the first quarter.

3. Phil Mickelson:

   I think the short game, when you haven't played, it's the first thing to feel uncomfortable and the quickest thing to get back, i don't think he's going to have any problems, I really don't. I think we all Phil Mickelson included have had stretches where we feel a little uncomfortable. We don't hit it solid, and usually it's just a small tweak, because it's such a short swing that it's not a hard thing to fix.

4. Elaine Nessle:

   Those programs are significantly oversubscribed. I expect a lot of those applicants to tweak their applications and resubmit for the new funding.

5. Chrissy Teigen:

   It started with Botox and everything, of course, but now it’s just grown into this Photoshop phenomenon and I’ve seen these women in person, they are not like that, please know that. I’ve shot in barely anything with them and it’s just amazing what people do to tweak themselves.
