The side screw does not get touched, it's only job is to hold the adjustment and detent mechanism in. The front screw is your adjustment screw and detents keep it from moving. It has a lot of clicks of adjustment. It sounds like you were on the verge of it working and probably needed to back it out a few more than where you had it.

"Is the set screw on the side a lock screw or to adjust do I just click the front adjustment screw and leave it once set with no need to lock it with set screw on side?

Best Answer: The set screw on the side holds the extent ball and spring in, no need to remove it unless you need to remove the adjustment screw completely."
I could not find the exact one that was on his upper on PSA's website. It only had three detents on the screw. The other I found on the site said that it had like 5 detents on its adjustment screw.
I loosened the set screw about a 1/4 turn just so the adjustment screw was easier to turn. I then would continue to open the gas block and still feel the detent notch and re-tighten the set screw on the side. I had it so far out at one point that I was afraid that it would come completely out. I thought I was just about there, but when I kept opening up the screw, it would still never lock back on the catch.
