the correct way to set the mesh is to place the worm gear carrier in a position so that the spring is half compressed with the worm and gear mating smoothly.

Then to stop the worm being forced out of smooth mesh when there is a heavy load you set the mesh stop screw so that the worm is kept in mesh without any binding.
