They should click, hopefully they're not broken off inside. Wind them in until they're fully seated (won't screw in further), don't force them they're not strong, then turn them out 2 turns - use this as your standard setting. As has been said, you won't see any difference, but you should feel the difference going over a bump. Anti-clockwise is softer and clockwise firmer, as yours don't click, make adjustments of 1/4 turn on each and see how they feel.

The damping adjusters trim the action of the spring - compression slows the compression of the spring/fork and rebound how quickly the spring/fork recovers after being compressed.

Set your sag first, get a mate to help - measure bottom yoke clamp to dust seal length with all weight  taken off of the forks - then measure the distance again with the bike upright, you normally look for a difference of about 35mm (conventional forks might be 5mm more). With you on it the measurement should drop another 10mm or so.  The distances can be altered by winding in or out the pre-load adjusters at the top of the forks (17mm hex drive I think, the screw adjuster right at the top is the re-bound adjuster).
