Right is clockwise, left is counter. Screwing it in, clockwise, pushes the mixture plate down. Yes, 3mm. Use an exhaust gas analyzer if you can, or a wideband.

Left would be counterclockwise, right would be clockwise. It is 3mm, be warned a small movement of the screw can make a lot of difference. Use a dwell meter if you don't have a CO or wideband meter.

Clockwise is the direction a clock moves, to the right.
