Neither of which have much to do with filling the bowl...

there is a plastic adjusting screw on the side. Look at this figure.
The screw is on the right side:

What is this screw for?

Couldn't tell you. But from the diagram I don't think it has anything
to do with the problem.

The hose coming from the side of the fill valve should be directed into
the overflow. The water coming from this hose fills the bowl while the
main flow from the fill valve fills the tank until stopped by the float.

In other words, is water coming from the hose, and is it all going down
the overflow tube? If so, the bowl should fill. If it doesn't, perhaps
that plastic screw does adjust the flow thru that hose. Remember (or
mark) the starting position and try turning it a turn or two and see.
