I'm starting to confuse myself here.

On this picture, does tightening the screw tighten the clips on the top (side A) or the bottom (side B)?

After a series of experiments I am none the wiser.

That Screw tightens the bottom spring clip. Look at where the screw links to - it links to the back plate - that's the bit that moves. The front plates are fixed.

Cheers. I suspected as much, but I could swear that one time it tightened the top

Both sides want to be set the same. If you look at the side near the screw there is a small Red indicator that moves as you adjust the screw. The more Red showing the tighter the clip. Set both indicators to the same amount of Red showing.
