my guess is that setting the set screw flush would give you the most positive magnetic closure as the plates would then be firmly together.. backing the set screw out would move the magnetic plates away from each other and give you less magnetic contact... the other items in the picture are probably there to ensure you don't bind up the wheel bearing by over-tightening.. but that's just another guess..
