I would take the screw out completely. Pretty sure it's useless, or a hindrance on a fixed conversion. You need as much space in those forward facing drop outs as possible.
EDIT: when tightening the bolts I do it with the bike upright and sort of grab the front of the back wheel near the seat tube and pull backwards while keeping it aligned to the frame. Then with your other hand tighten each bolt a bit each in turn until there both really tight.
