English is slightly ambiguous here. As tighten has 2 meanings. Turning a screw clockwise is to tighten it, as opposed to loosen it anticlockwise. But it's quite loose. Finally, to make it tight and secure, you tighten it with one last turn.

Shouldn't "screw in the screw" be used instead of "tighten the screw" when you're just inserting it fully but not tightening it?

Makes sense. You should design furniture manuals for IKEA.
