Bridge is jacked after string change

Thicker strings mean higher tension, so you actually want to tighten the claw screws on the guitar's back in order to pull the bridge back down.
What do you mean by "I tried loosening the two bridge screws"? Could you clarify?
I figured it was the strings causing it. Here's a pic of the bridge screws I'm referring to. Thanks
So.. Those are not the right screws to turn in that situation.. And that's why your action is super high.
I'd recommend you screw them down as they were before, not all the way down! Else the bridge won't be able to pivot.
I'll try setting them back. Thanks so much for your help
