Adjusting Brakes - ABU BG7000HSN

Looking for a little advice on how the various brakes all work together.

Somewhat of a rookie question.

On the ABU's - there are two breaks to turn - the one on the right (near the handle) - which I believe is magnetic. There is also one on the left.

Internally - there are 4 blocks. I realize some of you change these down to 2 or 0. Also, you have the option of using the bigger ones as well, which come in the box.

My Penn 975 just has the one knob - as do most of my freshwater conventionals.

How do all of these interplay? I realize as you loosen up the one on the left, you allow the spool more play left to right. Do you tighten this as you loosen up the magnetic break? How much sideplay should there be? Seems as though if you loosen it too much, the gears do not line up when you go to retrieve and there is some slippage.

Thanks.
