Compression - 8 clicks out from fully closed
Rebound - 12 clicks out from fully closed
Preload - 3 turns in from fully open

And the stock spring weight is 7.5N/mm
I was told by Ohlins that the screws on the top of the fork are the compression adjusters, and the ones at the bottom are rebound.

I weigh 75 kilos without kit and have my preload at 3 turns in from fully out, compression at 4 clicks in, and rebound at 3.
Although Mine have been re shimmed at Maxtons and heavier springs @8.5

If it were me, I'd start by softening the pre load.
