So should the screws on both sides be in the same position?
It doesn't matter too much. If you offset it, it can slightly tweak the angle of your highback relative to the binding angle. Some riders like to leave it square on, but some prefer to adjust inwards (more parallel with the board edge) for better range of motion. I think you sacrifice a little support for a little range of motion that way.
And how much toe/heal hang should there be?
Personal preference. I like equal toe/heel hang, preferably 1/2 inch each. That's where the ever-so-important board waist width (as well as overall width) comes into play. With a 9 1/2 boot size and an all-mountain board size of 159, I believe the industry is STILL making most boards too wide. Burton has gotten a lot better. My Custom 158 is a 24.9 waist width.

I will not buy a board with a waist width over 25cm. I can get all into the reasons why if you care to hear about that stuff.
