The small screw you saw is not really a screw. It is a stopper to stop the star ring from moving. You can turn it by a small screw driver so it will not get in the way of the tooth when you rotate the star ring. You can easily rotate the ring with a small screw driver pushing the tooth. Again, mark the star ring before you rotate it. It controls the tension of the shutter speed ring.

You may also encounter spacing problem on the film. Some pictures may overlap each others. This is because the back paper of the 120 film today is thinner than those of 50 years ago. No easy fix on the camera. Just roll 5 to 6 loops of black tape on the taking spool before you load the film. I hope this will save you a roll of film and some surprises.
