If 3.5 turns of the screws on either side of the cam stop is working then it seems to be no problem.
The problem will be if its too loose that the mount will slip on its gears too easily. For example if you take the camera off your scope and forgot to lock the axis first then it will slip whilst making a horrible grinding sound. It apparently does not damage the gears but you wouldn't want it to happen all the time.
So if that is not happening then I think you are fine.
This 3 way switch thing/cam stop/tightening screws is an engineering disaster and the big weak spot in the PMX. I would prefer it did not have this "feature" (read liability).
