The set-up neg is used to adjust the machine's output so that a
"normal" negative will print with all three colour buttons and
the density button on normal "N".

A good lab will happily redo pictures that you are not happy
with, no questions asked. A better lab will tell you when it
isn't worth trying, and will tell you why so that you won't make
the same mistake again, and then will try to improve on the
first run print for you.
