Default Fork settings

I'm about 5'9" and weigh about 145lbs with gear. How should the screws on the top of the forks be adjusted? It seems the little dots on them are off, even when theyre screwed all the way in or out. Is there other adjustments I can make, and where are they located? The front end seems off to me... Don't know how to explain it.
Currently they are 2 full turns back from all the way in.

Best place to find your stock settings are in an online manual for your specific bike. I have an F4 and stock setting is 1 and a half turns out. the preload for mine is 3 lines stock.And the setting on the bottom forks(compression damping) is 1 turn out. Im goin through the same thing on mine and will let u know if I find out anything important to add. Start with your stock settings, refine from there.

I'm pretty close to you're height & But weigh a (ahem, cough) tad more, my comfort settings are 3 Bars showing & Rebound set at half way. I've tooled around with different settings, but I find those just right for me, every ones different. Since owning two Guzzi's, every thing since is a plush & comfortable ride
Here are the factory settings:
