I am not a guitar builder or set up professional. I have owned 60+ guitars and do most of my own set ups.
I make the saddles I shape and adjust just tight enough so they do not fall out by themselves from the saddle slot in the bridge when held upside down without strings. You should not have to force them to the bottom of the slot either.
Too loose or too tight can cause problems in tone and stability of the bridge wood.
