You don't want any twist in the pin at all. The
purpose of "setting" is to remove the internal torque
caused by pulling up the pitch. Just a little
backwards pressure on the pin, from a slightly
over-pitch state, combined with pounding the key is
all it usually takes. How much pressure and how much
pounding are determined by the condition/construction
of the piano, and hard to describe. Experience.
