Welcome to Optics Talk.
Establish your rifle/load 100 yard zero. Loosen the set screws, lift the turret covers off and set them back down on zero. Tighten the set screws and your good to go. They aren't spring loaded and are typically loaded with just grease, giving them a little "spring" when you press them down.
There are 3 set screws. I SNUG each one down a little working my way around until they are all equally tightened. No need to strong arms them.
Not sure how your friend did them, but I've never had any problem with them not catching. I would recommend him contacting SWFA if he still has a problem.
You could use "1" if you wish, I guess. Most guys just use "0" though. I do any way.
