They should be snug against the hull. Remember that they are the only support for the hull and they are at very few locations as compared to the gentle lift of the water. Too few support spots on a hull equals damaged and hogged hulls.

Keep them equally tight.

Ideally all the rollers should share the load equally, while that's more in theory than reality most of the time, they all should be supporting some weight. An unsupported roller means another roller is doing double duty and the hull in that area may be seeing too much pressure where that roller contacts the hull.
