There's no right or wrong, you have to balance out the clrity and volume/harmonics by ear, each guitar seems to respond differently!

Pics won't help much, I'm afraid.
Each pickup is slightly different so each one will have it's sweet spot.

Start by setting the pickup as close to the strings as possible. You'll get some overtones on the higher frets. Proceed by screwing down the pickups untill the overtones are gone. After that, experiment a little with the height; a little lower, a little higher and you'll eventually find the sweet spot.

Good luck!
