Default how to make the C of G go rearward

hi everyone

by the way i'm talking about C of G not ballasting! lol

need a quick answer to a question, pretty urgent

On my new plane the C of G is about 2 inches forward of what i thought it was gonna be. I need to make the C of G go 2 inches rearwards pretty urgently. Its a pretty much conventional plane so if i incease/ decrease the horizontal stabaliser will it go backwards? or how about changing the distance of the tail to the wings, increase/decrease?

I'll explain about it all in a few hours, jus need to get the most out f the building time i have right now!

remember, i'm talking about actual aerodynamic C of G, not ballasting it to make it go back 2 inches or whatever

thanks!
